And later in this article it's directly called a plaza:/ / /Directly underneath the plaza is Piccadilly Circus Underground station, part of the London Underground system. // / which is in turn being defined as:/ / /A plaza /ˈplɑːzə/, pedestrian plaza, or place is an open urban public space, such as a city square.[1] / So I also see it as a good candidate to tag it as place=square. *** In Polish there are some common words in use, like "plac" and "skwer" (both are similar to the words in some other languages, as you see) and while the first one is the most generic term, the second one relates to a smaller space, and is defined on Polish Wikipedia as a recreation space, which is what I have noticed in a real world, however commemorative use is also popular, but not mentioned here: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skwer No difference is stated in "plac" definition, there is simply also a "rynek" (market square - also common name, said do to be derived from German "Ring" - a space with a building inside) and "agora" mentioned: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plac https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rynek_(urbanistyka) It looks like this is not a real classification system, the use of any of them in the name can be just a traditional toponym. For example market squares today can be just generic public spaces, while their function is nowadays usually related to amenity=marketplace or shopping centers/malls (called Plaza sometimes, even if they are not an open space, but buildings - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza#Buildings_called_'Plaza' ). -- "Rzeczy się psują – zęby, spłuczki, kompy, związki, pralki" [Bisz]
