An urban sculpture and advertising hoarding in the centre of Old Street Roundabout. Old Street Roundabout is a roundabout located on the boundary of the London Borough of Hackney and the London Borough of Islington. It is an interchange system at the junction of Old Street and City Road. It is sometimes known as St. Agnes Well after the shopping centre beneath it, while the area surrounding the roundabout is often colloquially known as Silicon Roundabout, owing to the prominence of British web-based companies there. City Road heads south from the roundabout towards the City of London and Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations. It also diverts north towards Angel, King's Cross, St. Pancras and Euston. This area lies in the London congestion charge zone (CCZ). Old Street heads west towards central London and the West End and eastbound towards the East End, Shoreditch and Dalston. The shopping complex in the underpass at the centre of the roundabout is named St. Agnes Well, after an ancient well thought to have been located about 200 metres to the east, at the junction of Old Street and Great Eastern Street. Old Street station is located below Old Street Roundabout. It is served by the Bank branch of the London Underground Northern line and by First Capital Connect trains.
