Cambridge Circus dans les romans
Dans quelques romans d'espionnage de John le Carré, notamment La Taupe, Cambridge Circus est supposé abriter le siège des services de renseignements extérieures britanniques ou MI6. C'est pourquoi les personnages font souvent allusion au «Cirque» pour désigner le siège ou, par extension, les services secrets britanniques: «C'est ça le trésor, dit Control. Ce que Stevcek veut nous vendre en réalité, c'est le nom de la taupe du centre de Moscou infiltrée au Cirque»[1].
