Tottenham Court Road is a street in Central London, England, running from St Giles' Circus (the junction of Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road) north to Euston Road, near the border of the City of Westminster and the London Borough of Camden, a distance of about three-quarters of a mile. It has for many years been a one-way street: all three lanes are northbound only, the equivalent southbound traffic using the parallel Gower Street. It is generally regarded as marking the western boundary of Bloomsbury.

The south end of the road is close to the British Museum and to Centre Point, the West End's tallest building. The road is served by three stations on the London Underground - from south to north these are: Tottenham Court Road, Goodge Street and Warren Street - and by numerous bus routes.
