London Circuit is a road in Canberra, Australia, which surrounds City Hill in Civic, the city centre.[1] It has a hexagonal shape, and intersects with several main roads such as Northbourne Avenue (35°16′48″S 149°07′44″E / 35.28°S 149.129°E / -35.28; 149.129 (London Circuit at Northbourne Avenue)), Edinburgh Avenue (35°16′59″S 149°07′34″E / 35.283°S 149.126°E / -35.283; 149.126 (London Circuit at Edinburgh Avenue)), Akuna Street (35°16′55″S 149°07′55″E / 35.282°S 149.132°E / -35.282; 149.132 (London Circuit at Akuna Street)), Constitution Avenue and Commonwealth Avenue (35°17′02″S 149°07′41″E / 35.284°S 149.128°E / -35.284; 149.128 (London Circuit at Commonwealth Avenue)).

Several important buildings are located on London Circuit. These include the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly, the Supreme Court,[2][3] the ACT Magistrates Court, the historic Sydney and Melbourne Buildings, the Canberra Theatre and the QT Canberra.

As part of construction of stage 2A of the Canberra light rail, work will commence in 2022 to raise part of London Circuit by 6 m (20 ft) and provide a signalised, level intersection with Commonwealth Avenue. The ACT Government claim this will create a more "people oriented" space, improving access for pedestrians and cyclists as well as public transport infrastructure,[4] however warned of traffic disruption over a four year period during construction. This intersection is currently grade-separated and makes use of a cloverleaf style ramps, requiring the demolition of the current overpass, to be replaced by new roadway built on top of 60,000 m3 of fill material. Tracks will be laid along the western portion of London Circuit between this new junction and Northbourne Avenue, with a station to be built on this section to serve City West and the Australian National University. A portion of the eastern section of London Circuit between Commonwealth and Constitution Avenues will also be upgraded as part of this project.[5] These works are expected to be completed in 2024.[6][7]
