Piccadilly Circus goes dark as billboards switched off

The giant billboards that have lit up London's Piccadilly Circus for more than 100 years have been switched off for renovation. The six famous screens, which have long been a tourist attraction in the capital, are to be replaced by a single, large curved screen. Coca-Cola, which has had its name up in lights on the corner of Regent Street and Piccadilly since 1954, will share the new space with five other advertisers.
