Lonely Planet review for Circus

Inspired by the Roman Colosseum, the Circus is another Georgian masterpiece of Wood the Elder's design. Arranged over three equal terraces, the 30 mansions overlook a garden populated by plane trees; a German bomb fell into the square in 1942 and demolished several houses, although they've since been rebuilt in seamless style. Look out for plaques to Thomas Gainsborough, Clive of India and David Livingstone, all former Circus residents.

    Behind the veil

    markbroadhead recommends this,

    Beautiful neo-classical design, but get into an alley behind the terraces and you'll see how each house/flat has been customised by its owners.
