The A406 or the North Circular Road is a road which crosses North London, UK, linking West and East London. The speed limit is 30, 40 or 50 mph depending on the stretch of the road, including the sections with multiple carriageways. Together with the South Circular Road, it forms a ring road through the inner part of Outer London. This ring road does not make a complete circuit of the city; being C-shaped rather than a complete loop as the crossing of the River Thames in the east is made on the Woolwich Ferry.

“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
“Loving a baby is a circular business, a kind of feedback loop. The more you give the more you get and the more you get the more you feel like giving.”

—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
