In several of the spy novels written by John le Carré and featuring the character George Smiley (for example, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), the Secret Intelligence Service is referred to as "The Circus" because of its supposed location at Cambridge Circus. This name and location are probably cases of artistic licence on the part of John le Carré.
