Princes Circus in Covent Garden

Princes Circus is a small open junction near the meeting of Shaftesbury Avenue and High Holborn, on the north-eastern fringe of Covent Garden close to St Giles. It marks a point where several routes come together, forming a modest traffic and pedestrian node rather than a destination in its own right. The surrounding buildings are commercial in character, and the space carries heavy through traffic along the main roads that pass it. Foot traffic is made up largely of people moving between the West End, Holborn and the streets around Shaftesbury Avenue, and the circus functions as a point of transition between these busy areas. Its position places it close to Tottenham Court Road and Holborn Underground stations, making it a well-used crossing point for commuters and visitors alike. There are no major landmarks at the circus itself, and its interest lies in its role as a junction knitting together the roads of this corner of central London. It sits at the edge where Covent Garden gives way to St Giles and Bloomsbury, marking the transition from the theatres and shops of the district to the offices and thoroughfares beyond. Princes Circus is chiefly a point of movement, shaped by the roads that converge on it.
