Tottenham Court Road runs from [[Euston Road]] in the north to [[St Giles Circus]] (the junction of [[Oxford Street]] and [[Charing Cross Road]]) at its southern end, a distance of about three-quarters of a mile (1.2&nbsp;km). The road lies almost entirely within the [[London Borough of Camden]] near its boundary with the [[City of Westminster]].

South of [[Torrington Place]] (originally Francis Street) the road marks the traditional boundary of the parishes of [[St Pancras, London|St Pancras (of which the manor of Tottenham Court was part)]] to the west, and [[St Giles, London|St Giles]] to the east (due to longstanding shared administrative arrangements, St Giles is often described as a part of [[Bloomsbury]]). North of Torrington Place, both sides of the road are in St Pancras.<ref name=sol21_75-76>{{cite journal |title=Tottenham Court Road (east side) |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vol21/pt3/pp75-76 |url-status=live |journal=Survey of London |volume=21, the Parish of St Pancras Part 3: Tottenham Court Road and Neighbourhood |editor=J R Howard Roberts and Walter H Godfrey |location=London |year=1949 |pages=75–76 |access-date=30 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171018071058/http://www.british-history.ac.uk/survey-london/vol21/pt3/pp75-76 |archive-date=18 October 2017 |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

The term ''[[Fitzrovia]]'' was first coined in the late 1930s as an informal description for some of the surrounding area. Tottenham Court Road is sometimes used to distinguish Fitzrovia to the west from [[Bloomsbury]] to the east<ref>{{cite book |last=Britten |first=Fleur |title=A Hedonist's Guide to London |publisher=Hedonist Guides |year=2008 |page=12 |isbn=978-1-905-42823-6}}</ref> (St Giles often being thought of as part of Bloomsbury). Fitzrovia has never had any formal limits applied, and its informal extent is sometimes also said to extend further east to [[Gower Street, London|Gower Street]], thus potentially overlapping with the more formal definitions applied to St Giles and Bloomsbury.

The south end of the road is close to the [[British Museum]] and to [[Centre Point]], the [[West End of London|West End]]'s tallest building. There are a number of buildings belonging to [[University College London]] along the road, and [[University College Hospital]] is near the north end of the road.
