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.

London Buses seem to be confused about this junction. Spider maps show
separate bus stops called Western Circus and Savoy Circus on some routes.
They seem to be on opposite sides of the same junction. You can even get a
route planned from one to the other usng the TfL Journey Planner.
