Arnold Circus is a residential circus (a circus being in this context a point where several roads meet) in Shoreditch in East London. It is the centrepiece of the Boundary Estate, which consists of a number of Grade II listed nineteenth century tower blocks built around a central garden and band stand.
The mound was initially created to bury the dead of the Black Death
One of the roads that link into the circus is Club Row, where the headquarters of George Galloway's Respect Party is situated.
The area is now being preserved by the Friends of Arnold Circus and has received grants for regeneration.
