North Circular Road, Orbital road in North London, United Kingdom

The North Circular Road extends 25.7 miles from Chiswick to Woolwich, connecting multiple suburban areas through northern parts of Greater London.

Construction began in 1910 as an unemployment relief project after World War I, with completion around 1930 to link industrial communities around London.

The road passes through eight London boroughs, influencing the development of local communities and serving as a reference point for neighborhood identities.

Transport for London manages this major route, which intersects with numerous trunk roads and provides access to shopping centers and railway stations.

The Hanger Lane section processes more than 10,000 vehicles per hour, making it one of the most heavily used road junctions in London.
