What London square is known for its nationally significant cinemas, often used for film premieres?

Leicester Square was built in 1670 and was named after Robert Sidney, the second earl of Leicester. Although in the previous years the square was known as an aristocratic area, it became less gentrified in the 19th century when a number of cinemas and theatres were built. Nowadays, the square is known for its famous cinemas such as the Odeon and the Empire.
