Charlie Brown's Roundabout

Charlie Brown's Roundabout is the common name for a roundabout at the southern end of the M11 motorway in South Woodford, London. The roundabout is at the junction of the North Circular Road with Southend Road and Chigwell Road. The M11 sliproads connect with the westbound North Circular Road by flyovers above the roundabout.

Charlie Brown's Roundabout

The roundabout is named after the landlord of the pub that was demolished in 1972 when the roundabout was enlarged to accommodate the sliproads for the newly constructed motorway. The landlord's father – also Charlie Brown – was the landlord of the Railway Tavern, locally known as Charlie Brown's pub in Limehouse, London.
