  City Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City Road is a road in central London, usually referred to by Londoners as "the City Road".
The part of the road north of Old Street is on the London Inner Ring Road and as such forms part of the boundary of the London Congestion Charge zone.
Most of the road is in the London Borough of Islington although the stretch from Wharf Road down to the Old Street roundabout is the border between Islington and Hackney so the two sides are in different boroughs.

 City Road tube station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City Road on the London Underground is a disused tube station.
City Road station was closed in 1922 when the line was reconstructed to allow full size tube trains - The CandSLR having been originally constructed with tunnels of a smaller diameter.
City Road station is now very inconspicuous from both the surface and underground - the only suggestion that a station ever existed is a brick ventilation shaft, with some hints of the former building, formed from the original lift shaft on City Road itself.

 Edinburgh Evening News - UK - London poll fuels city road toll fears   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
CITY business leaders today raised renewed fears for shops and restaurants in the centre of Edinburgh after a survey in London suggested road tolls had hit traders hard.
The London Chamber of Commerce found 74 per cent of firms said their takings were down by between ten and 15 per cent - and nearly 60 per cent of these said that the fall was either "all" or "mostly" due to the congestion charge.
They singled out road tolls as the cause of their profit falls despite being offered other options including closure of the Central tube line, fear of terrorist attacks, competition or the economic downturn.

 London Prowl
London in the summer: tourist buses clogging Park Lane, unseasonal rain in seasonal heat, sidewalks sticky with spilt ice cream, shameless Englishmen with their shirts off, audiences sweating quietly in muggy theaters, the Underground a crammed, stifling sauna.
But in the autumn and winter, the city's true character reimposes itself; the brick and stone, the solid heft and confident mass of the buildings, respond best to crisp mornings and dark evenings, the tug of wind and hint of damp and cold.
London, that most private of cities -- a city of houses, after all, not apartments -- always had a semi-covert communal life that centered on the pub, and we have been lucky to see it returning in kind.
