Tottenham Court Road

Tottenham Court Road runs from St Giles’ Circus (the junction of Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road) north to Euston Road.

The area through which Tottenham Court Road now runs was mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to St Paul’s Cathedral’s Dean and Chapter. In Henry III’s time (1216-1272), a manor house just northwest of the modern corner of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street was owned by one William de Tottenhall. Around the 1400s, the area was variously called Totten, Totham, or Totting Hall. After changing hands repeatedly, Queen Elizabeth leased the manor for 99 years when it became popularly known as Tottenham Court. A century later, it apparently passed to the Fitzroys, who built Fitzroy Square on part of the manor estate in the late 1700s.

A major shopping street, Tottenham Court Road is best known for its high concentration of consumer electronics stores, from cable and component specialists to package computer and audio-video dealers. Further north, several furniture shops including Habitat and Heals can be found.

In the 1950s-60s, Tottenham Court Road and some adjoining streets had become a hub for surplus Second World War radios and electronics. Stores like Proops Brothers and Z & I Aero Services offered amplifiers, radios, and components, later selling Japanese transistor radios and other electronic gadgets alongside British valve stereos.

Tottenham Court Road tube station, one of three stations serving the street, opened in 1900 as part of the Central London Railway. The platforms beneath Oxford Street west of St Giles’ Circus were originally connected to the ticket hall via lifts. The original Oxford Street station building, designed by Harry Bell Measures, still forms part of the station entrance with some original facade features surviving. Otherwise, the old station buildings were largely demolished in 2009. Elizabeth Line services began at what effectively was a new station in 2022.

The Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway (now the Northern line) arrived in 1907 but was initially called Oxford Street. An interchange linking the Central and Northern lines opened later. The original CCE&HR buildings were destroyed by Centre Point construction.

Among the W1 postal district’s thoroughfares, Tottenham Court Road is the only one featuring the word "road" in its name rather than street, square, etc.
