St Giles Circus

St Giles Circus is the intersection of Oxford Street, New Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and Tottenham Court Road in the St Giles district of the West End of London, near to Soho, Covent Garden, Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia. The word Circus is arguably a little misleading as the buildings around the traffic intersection are not all rounded, as with for example Oxford Circus. In the Middle Ages, the gallows were located at St Giles Circus alongside a cage for prisoners.
