editWhy "Oxford circle", is it near the University of Oxford? -- AstroU (talk) 22:27, 21 January 2015 (UTC) Why is it called 'Circus?'
No. I also wonder about the etymology. Anything to do with Asquith? Kaihsu (talk) 07:18, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
I suppose it is after Oxford Street. Kaihsu (talk) 07:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oxford Street was originally Oxford Road; the road taken to go to Oxford. The Circus takes its name from the Street.--DavidCane (talk) 11:44, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
