My spelling is at crises point, and when I say crises I mean crisis.


Like Savoy Circus/Western Circus in East Acton.


It's marked as Savoy Circus on a map - well on Streetmap at least...

....is it Western Circus on the signs there then? And more to the
point, where exactly is the purported Circus, or was this location
once host to a long gone roundabout? I realise there is a roundabout
of sorts as traffic coming off the westbound A40 that wishes to head
northbound has to go literally round a block (Old Oak Lane, East Acton
Lane, Oal Oak Common Lane), so is that the Circus?

And why on earth aren't there any Circuses at the Elephant?
