There's a pretty big souvenir shop called 'Fancy that of London' at the top of Haymarket, which is on the west side of Piccadilly Circus where the traffic turns down towards Trafalgar Square. That might be the place you're thinking off, especially if it had an old-style shop front, with windows like something out of Dickens.

I'm looking into joining a circus but there are obviously a few steps to take first so I was wondering what are some good circus schools? I'm 16 going on 17 and I have some basic dance/gymnastics skills and was hoping for schools in the Boston area? Thanks!
The only circus "school" in the United States is the Circus Center in San Francisco, which also includes a clown conservatory. The only American universities with circus programs are Florida State and Illinois State. However, New England is a hub for more recreational circus training, specifically Vermont, home to both Nimble Arts (run by the legendary Gemini Trapeze duo of Cirque Du Soleil) and Circus Smirkus (a circus performance camp). If you're really attached to Boston, a private instructor is your best bet. They're pretty easy to find, but of course costly.
My friend slept with a Ringling Brothers employee on a circus train in Texas years ago. Her fiancee heard this story through me flapping my lips and spent the day trying to find out how he could get a job driving the circus train. We were unsuccessful. We need to know how we can apply to be the conductor (or engineer, if that is the appropriate wording) of a circus train! Thanks!!!
Well if you want to work for the circus, join the circus.
Otherwise all railroad operations, and crews, are provided by the host railroad moving the circus train consist. If its on CSX for instance, CSX engines with a CSX crew will be on the train. When it gets handed off to NS, a NS crew with NS locomotives will be put on.
I want to start my own Circus, but I have no idea how so please someone tell me what to do to get started.
What I mean is, what should I do as far as college goes, whats the process of starting a circus? Buying a big tent and just hiring people to do random stuff isn't going to get any money or draw crowds. What do I do to start a circus? What all is involved?
You're in for an uphill battle.
As far as classes, if you're going to be the owner, management, marketing, and publicity.
Then there's theater and theater design classes for the acting and set design. Music classes, lessons on lighting and sound tech, etc.
Once you're big enough, you can hire people to do these kinds of things, but starting out, the owner pretty much has to know how to do everything on the show.
And don't forget dealing with venues. Even if you own your own tent, you'll want to set up in a high-traffic area that is easy to get to, has lots of parking available, and is generally high-visibility. If you're not a known quantity (meaning you're not Ringling, Cirque or Shrine), a lot of venue owners won't want to deal with you, or will stick you in the worst possible location (at a county fair, for example).
Large tents cost several thousand dollars. Even my little 20X20 tent for my sideshow was over $1,000.
There will also be insurance to deal with, and licenses for wherever you perform. And if you have animal acts, there are an endless stream of inspections to keep current with the USDA, even if you only have domesticated animals like dogs and horses performing with you.
Good luck!
