Why should "Circus" be "misleading in this context"? There are others as such in London - Oxford, Piccadilly (although now the statue of Eros stands in its centre, wasn't always so), Cambridge. The modern roundabout is predated by "this context". I don't see why that modern version should lead to such a comment: surely the historical aspect should? Wording such as "one of several such intersections named Circus in London (cp Piccadilly ....)" is, I submit, a more acceptable way of expressing it? Peter Shearan07:14, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
When I was searching for more information about St. Giles Circus, I came upon this article. Although the term circus has been used around the world in various places for a circular intersection, it is most common in England and almost unknown around the rest of the world where other terms like roundabout are common. Without a clarification for people unfamiliar with the word being used in this way, it becomes extremely confusing as for most of us, a circus is where you go to see circus animals and clowns.
