Rondo Zgrupowania AK „Radosław” is an important traffic hub in Warsaw, located on the border of Powązki and Muranów, between the Śródmieście and Wola districts. It connects Jana Pawła II Avenue, Zygmunta Słomińskiego Street, and Okopowa Street. Until 2001, it was called rondo Babka, named in the 1950s due to the shape of the earth embankment. Despite the official name change in honor of the AK Group „Radosław”, which fought in the Warsaw Uprising, the old name is still used, e.g., in the name of the nearby Babka Tower complex. The roundabout played a key role in road traffic – during the PRL, the international route E81 ran through it, and later national roads no. 7 and 634. In 2008 and 2011, changes were made to traffic organization, traffic lights were added, and it was given the characteristics of a turbine roundabout. In the future, it is planned to route part of the traffic through a tunnel. The roundabout features two important elements commemorating history: a stone with a plaque dedicated to the „Radosław” Group (unveiled in 2004) and the 60-meter-high Freedom Mast, erected in 2014 to commemorate the Warsaw Uprising.
