St Giles Circus

[3] Tottenham Court Road Underground station was opened in July 1900 as part of the Central London Railway, with the platforms under Oxford Street to the west of St Giles Circus, and the station opening on the south west side of the circus, on Oxford Street.

[7] The area today is dominated by Centre Point Tower, located on the south-east corner on New Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road.

Built between 1963 and 1966 by developer Harry Hyams, the brutalist tower was London's first "skyscraper", and is now a Grade II listed building.

[3][8] St Giles Circus has been since 2009 the site of construction for Crossrail, which have disrupted road flows and led to several buildings being demolished.

[9] The Dominion Theatre is close to the north-east corner, on Tottenham Court Road just above New Oxford Street.
