I am here at Piccadilly Circus. There is a street named Piccadilly and I asked the Piccadilly line here. I have never heard of anyone who is actually a Piccadilly. If you look at the overall infrastructure of London, you can imagine where the name came from. The Trafalgar Square is after the. . . but what is Piccadilly? That is not only London. There is also a Piccadilly in Manchester. I have read the dictionary and the definition was one of the main streets in London. I asked my friends, no one knew. So I researched a little. In the middle of the 16th century, the Spanish or Italian coastline was established. They want to attack and demonstrate their wealth and power. But everyone already has fancy clothes and jewelry. They need something more. So the people began to wear these extravagant linen towels around the neck. And that was so said that it became a huge industry. In the 1560s, these stiffened with pointed collar to England and quickly became the ultimate status symbol. This was also made possible that you could only wear it if you at least heard the knight'stand. Even the king Elizabeth the first. He wore a collar on a portrait in 1575. In this world of pointed collar and royal fashion, the Grobert Baker entered, which at the time opened a workshop behind me at the time, which was known as the street to Reading or the road from Coilburg. Quite quickly a name for these collar. It was called Piccadiles, which probably came from the Spanish word Picado, which means that it is hollowed out or through word. Since the business flourished, Baker built a house that the Piccadilly hall called. 1668 was the street name finally changed in Portugal Street, named after Catherine von Brazanga, the wife of King Charles the Second. You can safely say that the name Portugal Street did not pass and the people finally called it Piccadilly after the hall. 1673 was a part of the street in Piccadilly, this time with the current writing. It finally spread throughout the street. With the time it developed into a very popular street for bookmakers and shopkeepers. Because of this call, the planners in Manchester, who in the 1750s were rosy, an idea, the street should be pl It attracted wealthy merchants and businessmen, the beautiful city houses. Bureaus, shops and the Piccadilly gardens were created. That's how the street became the popular big city street of today. In London the name Piccadilly was not yet a self-sufficiency. There was a huge new construction project called Regen Street. At every end of this new street they built circles, not They called it Regent Circus North and South. But these names also did not settle through. The northern circle, Oxford Circus, is on the Oxford Street. The southern circus was named after its connection with Piccadilly in Piccadilly Circus. In 1902 two companies joined together, which planted the construction of a railway under Piccadilly and founded the Northern Piccadilly in Brempton Railway. The Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, which both should take up their business in 1906, came to this. They all loved it, but the names did not appeal to them. So they went to the Berlin Line and Piccadilly Line. The last big expansion of this Piccadilly collection was the reconstruction of the railway from Manchester London Red to Manchester Piccadilly in 1960, to mirror the area better. Why do we love the word Piccadilly so much? A funny word, maybe just a word. Or does it sound historical, although most of us don't know the meaning? Or maybe it's just because the new definition of Piccadilly is an exciting place. And so there was a fashionable accessory not only of one, but several important streets in various cities, a well-known landmark, a train station and a whole subway line with 150 million guests every year, its name. Why did the name take such a long time to come to? At least now
