Talk:Tottenham Court Road

message: The photo is good, but I'd like to see a picture of the historic Tottenham Court Road "shield" street sign. I'd take it myself if I currently had a decent working camera. Lee M 02:32, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

text: If that is correct, then I guess it would be the area to the Northeast of the Oxford Street/Tottenham Court Road intersection—where the British Museum is today. Thanks. Grouse 20:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: AFAIK Tottenham Court was the name of a house and hamlet that stood roughly near where Euston Station is today ie: the north end of tottenham Court RoadPenrithguy (talk) 06:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

text: To properly interpret references to "the end of the last century", one needs to know in which century the quoted work was written; in this case, it appears to date to 1878, so "the end of the last century" is now two centuries further removed from the present than it was at the time. *Dan T.* (talk) 15:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed the Harry Potter 7 reference again.  Tottenham Court Road is a real place.  Harry Potter and the events that happened in the books are all imaginary.  Should the events on Tottenham Court Road depicted in that book acquire a lasting connection with the real place, then we might consider adding it in, just as we now have a reference to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in Southwark.  For the time being I suggest that it's a trifle early to add a reference to a book that was published barely one week ago, just because one of the scenes happens to be set in Tottenham Court Road. --Tony Sidaway 15:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Interestingly, I got to that point in the Harry Potter book while reading it in the hotel room I was staying in at the time, which happened to be on Tottenham Court Road. *Dan T.* 20:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Last time I went to TCR the electronics shops were mostly gone and the area had become a sleaze zone. Has it revived since, or does no-one want to say it?

replies: text: Parts of the street were substantially redeveloped about five years ago, and some of the sex shops closed.  Most of the electronics, hi-fi and camera shops on the street have been around for decades, and some of the computer shops have been around for well over a decade.  There are also quite a few furniture shops. --Tony Sidaway 13:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Just passing through in the course of some research at work, and realised that parts of this page are very similar to this page: http://londontravelportal.com/tottenham_court_road.html which says copyright 2006 at the bottom. From looking at the history it looks like it's been that way for a while. It'd be good if somebody with local knowledge could fix it up, but if not I'll try to get around to it.

message: The article states that the land was leased to the Queen for 99 years, but where does it go when she passes? To the British Government? To the Royal Family? To the next reigning heir? Also would like to see some better photos at the street view, perhaps  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guthdt (talk • contribs) 13:44, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I will be adding some changes to this article. I will be adding a section that briefly describes Tottenham Court Road in a modern sense and then I will be adding some information on "public scares" that have occurred in the recent years. I will also be adding a new picture of TCR and adding a picture of TCR which shows its location on a map of the underground.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guthdt (talk • contribs) 13:28, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
