No, it's Savoy Circus (junction of the A40 with Old
Oak Common Lane / Old Oak Road at East Acton).


All of the official plans for improving this junction
called it "Western Circus". I've never heard of Savoy
Circus.


What officialdom call something and what people call it are not always the
same thing. Originating from west London I've only ever heard it referred to
as Savoy Circus which name is derived from the cinema that formerly stood on
the south-east corner of the junction.
