The road runs from [[Euston Road]] in the north to [[St Giles Circus]] in the south; [[Tottenham Court Road tube station]] lies just beyond the southern end of the road. Historically a market street, it became known for selling electronics and [[Major appliance|white goods]] in the 20th century. The street takes its name from the former manor (estate){{snd}}which was the location of a [[royal court]] at times{{snd}}of Tottenham Court, whose lands lay toward the north and west of the road, in the [[Civil Parish#Ancient Parishes|parish]] of [[St Pancras, London|St Pancras]]. Tottenham Court had no direct connection with the district of [[Tottenham]] (which is now in the [[London Borough of Haringey]]). ==Geography== [[File:Centre Point under renovation from Tottenham Court Road.jpg|thumb|Tottenham Court Road looking south to [[Centre Point]], 2016]] 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 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. ==History== The origin of the road's name is that it is the road to the Manor of Tottenham Court. The manor house lay just to the north of the road's junction with [[Euston Road]]. ===Manor of Tottenham Court=== The first surviving record of the manor is, as Þottanheale, from a charter from around AD 1000. The initial 'Þ' (pronounced 'th') may have been a mistake by the scribe, who should perhaps have used a 'T': all subsequent records use an initial 'T'.<ref>Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names, Eilert Ekwall, 4th edition</ref> The manor was subsequently described as ''Totehele'' in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086.{{sfn|Weinreb|Hibbert|Keay|Keay|2008|p=922}} The area was described as ''Totenhale'' in 1184 and ''Totenhale Court'' by 1487.{{sfn|Mills|2010|p=248}} Although the road's name has a similar word root to [[Tottenham]] in the [[London Borough of Haringey]], the two are not directly related.{{sfn|Mills|2010|p=248}} [[File:William-Hogarth-The-March-of-the-Guards-to-Finchley-1750-©-The-Foundling-Museum.jpg|thumb|''[[The March of the Guards to Finchley]]'' is set outside the Adam and Eve at the northwest end of Tottenham Court Road.]] [[File:St Giles parish, London 1804.jpg|thumb|right|The Manor of Tottenham Court, now known as [[Fitzrovia]], being urbanised in 1804.

North is to the right-hand side.]] [[File:The manor house of Toten Hall - 1813.gif|thumb|250px|The manor house of Toten Hall, {{circa}} 1813]] The manor occupied the south-western part of the parish of [[St Pancras, London|St Pancras]], whose boundaries are now used to delineate most of the south-west of the wider modern [[London Borough of Camden]], of which St Pancras is the principal component. South of Torrington Place, ''Tottenham Court'' (and therefore St Pancras) lay between Tottenham Court Road and what is now the borough boundary with the [[City of Westminster]]. North of Torrington Place, ''Tottenham Court'' (and hence also St Pancras) occupied both the east and west sides of the road. The manor house lay just to the north of what is now [[Euston Road]] (which was not built until 1756). The manor is mentioned in the [[Domesday Book]] as belonging to the Dean and Chapter of [[St Paul's Cathedral]]. In the time of [[Henry III of England|Henry III]] (1216–1272), a manor house slightly north-west of what is now the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Euston Road belonged to one William de Tottenhall. In about the 15th century, the area was known variously as ''Totten'', ''Totham'', or ''Totting Hall''. After changing hands several times, the manor was leased for 99 years to Queen [[Elizabeth I]], and it came to be popularly called ''Tottenham Court''.<ref>{{cite book |last=Walford |first=Edward |author-link=Edward Walford |title=Tottenham Court Road |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/old-new-london/vol4/pp467-480 |url-status=live |series=Old and New London |volume=4 |publisher=[[British History Online]]|location=London |year=1878 |pages=467–480 |access-date=31 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161017021620/http://www.british-history.ac.uk/old-new-london/vol4/pp467-480 |archive-date=17 October 2016 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> In 1639, the land was leased to [[Charles I of England|Charles I]]; following his execution ten years later, it was sold to Ralph Harrison.

In 1645, three people were fined for drinking on a Sunday. A Gooseberry Fair was held sporadically throughout the century, and featured numerous booths with street entertainers.{{sfn|Wheatley|2011|p=390}} The [[Horse Shoe Brewery]] was established in 1764 on the junction of Tottenham Court Road and [[Oxford Street]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Richmond |first1=Lesley |last2=Turton |first2=Alison |title=The Brewing Industry: A Guide to Historical Records |publisher=Manchester University Press |year=1990 |page=233 |isbn=978-0-7190-3032-1}}</ref> The current Horseshoe pub was built in the 19th century.{{sfn|Weinreb|Hibbert|Keay|Keay|2008|p=922}} [[Whitefield's Tabernacle, Tottenham Court Road|Whitefield's Tabernacle]] was built in 1756 for the Reverend [[George Whitefield]], and subsequently became the world's largest Methodist church after it was extended in 1760. It was rebuilt in 1857 after being destroyed by fire, and again in 1888 after the building collapsed. It was bombed during the [[Second World War]] and rebuilt as the Memorial Chapel.{{sfn|Weinreb|Hibbert|Keay|Keay|2008|p=1018}} Tottenham Court Road was predominantly rural in nature until well into the 19th century. When [[Heal's]] was established on former farmland, the lease stipulated there must be appropriate accommodation for 40 cows. These cowsheds were destroyed in a fire in 1877.{{sfn|Weinreb|Hibbert|Keay|Keay|2008|p=922}} A 17th-century farmhouse at the rear of No. 196 Tottenham Court Road was demolished in 1917.<ref name=sol21_75-76/> ===Fairyland shooting range=== [[File:Fairyland, 92 Tottenham Court Road London circa 1905.jpg|thumb|left|Fairyland, 92 Tottenham Court Road, circa 1905]] During the period leading up to and during the First World War, an amusement arcade that contained a miniature rifle-shooting range called Fairyland was at No. 92 Tottenham Court Road.

Further north there are several furniture shops, including [[Habitat (retailer)|Habitat]] and [[Heals (department store)|Heal's]]. Another well-known store was the furniture maker [[Maple & Co.]] In the 1950s and 1960s, Tottenham Court Road and a few of the adjoining streets became well known for stores selling Second World War surplus radio and electronics equipment and all kinds of electro-mechanical and radio parts.
