Leicester Square es una plaza peatonal en el West End de Londres. Inglaterra. La plaza se ubica dentro de un área que se extiende hacia por Lisle Street, al norte, por Charing Cross Road al este, Orange Street al sur y Whitcomb Street al oeste. Se encuentra dentro de la Ciudad de Westminster, y a una distancia idéntica de Trafalgar Square al sur, Piccadilly Circus a su oeste, Covent Garden al este y Cambridge Circus a su norte.
La plaza recibe su nombre tras la compra de 1.6 hectáreas por parte de Robert Sideney, en St. Martin's Field en 1630, en 1635 mandó construirse para sí mismo una gran casa, Leicester House, en la parte norte de Londres. El área que se encontraba enfrente de la gran casa, estaba por aquel encontes vallada, impidiendo así a los habitantes de St. Martins Parish su derecho de paso. Estos llamaron la atención del rey Carlos I, quien ordenó a lord Leicester mantener parte de su tierra abierta a los transeúntes.
