Oxford Circus takes its name from Oxford Street of which it forms a part. This was the old road to Oxford in 1682, recorded as Oxford Road in 1720, and Oxford Street in 1725.
The Circus was originally named Regent Circus until the late 19th century. The station was opened as OXFORD CIRCUS on 30 July 1900.
