Ludgate Circus is the intersection of Farringdon Street/New Bridge Street (the A201, leading to Blackfriars Bridge) with Fleet Street/Ludgate Hill, historically the main connexion between the cities of London and Westminster. Had the Fleet Line of the London Underground been built, it would have had a station at Ludgate Circus. City Thameslink station is adjacent.

The site is also connected with the King Lud, who gave his name to the present day LudgateCircus and Ludgate Hill, on on which St. Paul's Cathedral stands.
At his death, Lud was buried in an entrance to the city that still bears his name, Ludgate.
My intuition tells me that Ludgate Hill was a scared site for the Celts, probably because of it's connections with Brutus and Lud.
