The Circus Tavern in Purfleet was the venue of the PDC World Darts Championships from its inauguration event in 1994, up until 2007, and broadcast on Sky Sports. Phil Taylor reached the final in all 14 of the PDC World Darts Championship tournaments that were held at the Circus Tavern, winning 11 of those 14 finals. The last World Championship match held at the Circus Tavern was the 2007 PDC World Darts Championship final, where Raymond van Barneveld came from 0–3 down in sets to defeat Phil Taylor, 7–6 in sets, after a sudden death leg.

From the small cluster of buildings at Tottenham Court (today’s Warren Street station), two parallel dotted lines mark the future route of Euston Road to Battle Bridge (King’s Cross). Then the dotted lines continue as Pentonville Road - since they are traversing the land owned by Henry Penton - to the Angel, Islington. They had been an alternative route proposed - the other set of dotted lines TUM image id: 1713789132 Licence:	A map a day for the month of May I have a bit of a map collection in my possession. Throughout May, I will be publishing one old map every day. This one is an 1855 London overview best seen on a desktop computer rather than a phone - you’ll be able to zoom into your favourite area of London in reasonable detail. The original is in much better definition which I will publish sections of at some point in the future. Credit: J.H.

Let me take, for instance, the career, as related by himself, of the cab-driver who furnishes the subject of the accompanying illustration. He began life in the humble capacity of pot-boy in his uncle’s public-house, but abandoned this opening in consequence of a dispute, and ultimately obtained an engagement as conductor from the Metropolitan Tramway Company. In this employment the primary education he had enjoyed while young served him to good purpose, and he was soon promoted to the post of time-keeper. After some two years’ careful saving he collected sufficient money to buy a horse, hire a cab, and obtain his licence." Credit: John Thomson TUM image id: 1707411448 Licence:
