Due to the huge construction costs and widespread public opposition, most of the scheme was cancelled in 1973 and the WCR, <a href="/wiki/Westway_(London)" title="Westway (London)">Westway</a> and the <a href="/wiki/East_Cross_Route" title="East Cross Route">East Cross Route</a> in east London were the only significant parts to be built. </p><p>The WCR was originally the designation for the western section of <a href="/wiki/London_Ringways#Ringway_1" title="London Ringways">Ringway 1</a>, the innermost circuit of the <a href="/wiki/London_Ringways" title="London Ringways">London Ringways</a> network, a complex and comprehensive plan for a network of high-speed roads circling central <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> designed to manage and control the flow of traffic within the capital.

The alignment of the slip roads leaves a wide space between for the unbuilt carriageway. On the north side of the roundabout, two short stubs indicate the starting point of the slip roads that would have been provided for traffic joining or leaving the northern section of the WCR. </p><p>South of the Holland Park roundabout, which the WCR would have passed above on a flyover, the route would have continued along the alignment of the West London Line passing over <a href="/wiki/Kensington_(Olympia)_station" title="Kensington (Olympia) station">Kensington (Olympia) station</a> to a westbound-only interchange with the <a href="/wiki/A4_road_(Great_Britain)" class="mw-redirect" title="A4 road (Great Britain)">A4</a> at Talgarth Road.
