The Circus is at the junction of three roads. It is a circular area of grass overlooked by three equal terraces of grand Georgian houses. The grass is surrounded by a low stone wall and at the centre are five plane trees.

The area is maintained by the council. The trees are old and have had some attention in the recent past. There is some feeling that the planting of trees went against the original overall design of the area.
