Oxford Circus, London

Oxford Street follows the route taken by the Roman road called Via Trinobantina, which came out west from Londinium.

It was notoriously the Tyburn Road upto 1729, the route taken by condemned prisoners from Newgate Prison (Old Bailey) to Tyburn Gallows (Marble Arch).

It was Oxford Street from 1729.

Although everyone thinks that John Nash designed all of Regent Street including the Oxford Circus buildings in the 1820s, all of the buildings you see today were redeveloped in the 1920s in a similar style. They are all Grade II listed.

Famously the busiest pedestrian point in London as 40,000 people per hour pass through this junction.
