You're standing on Leicester Square, right in the middle of London's West End. You won't see any cars here: the square has been pedestrianised since the 1980s. Take a look at the big cinemas around you. This is the prime spot in the UK for film premieres, and since the 1980s it has hosted the London Film Festival every year.

Read and hear the whole story in the Outdoor Pitstop app: check in at this place and it is yours (with Pro; new users are Pro for the first 4 weeks).
