SPLIT OPINIONS ON SQUARE RENOVATION

Leicester Square in central London, where

film premières traditionally take place, has
undergone extensive renovation in recent
years. The works started in December

2010 and Leicester Square reopened in
May 2012, just before the 2012 Summer
Olympics. Although the makeover cost

more than 15 million pounds, many people
have criticised the result. The square has

lost most of its unique features, such as the

statues and floor plaques with film star
names and their handprints. However, local
politicians are quite proud of the project.

One of them pointed out that Leicester
Square is now better prepared to host future
film events, without having lost its original

character.
