Ludgate Circus is a road junction in the City of London where Farringdon Street/New Bridge Street (the A201) crosses Fleet Street/Ludgate Hill. (Ludgate Hill is a gentle rise to St Paul's Cathedral.) Fleet Street was the only direct road between the cities of London and Westminster till the Embankment was opened in 1870. The Circus crosses the River Fleet, London's largest subterranean river.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Ludgate Circus ist eine Kreuzung in der westlichen City of London, wo Farringdon Street und New Bridge Street (zusammen bilden sie mit der A road 201 Teile des innerstädtischen Rings) die Fleet Street und Ludgate Hill kreuzen. Der Platz hat eine Fläche von ca. 1450 m². Historisch bildet die Kreuzung die Hauptverbindung zwischen der City of London und der City of Westminster und befindet sich oberhalb des unterirdisch geführten River Fleet. Der kreisrunde Platz, der immer als Verkehrsdurchgangsfläche, aber trotz seiner runden Form nie als Kreisverkehr diente, wurde zwischen 1864 und 1875 erbaut. Hierfür wurde Granit aus den Felsen von Dartmoor in Devon verbaut („Haytor“). In Charles Dickens’ Dictionary of London von 1879 wurde der Ort als „Farringdon-circus“ beschrieben. Der Name der Kreuzung ist auf das Stadttor Ludgate zurückzuführen, welches sich bis zu seinem Abriss 1760 in rd. 150 Metern Entfernung in der Straße Ludgate Hill befand. (de)
