Cannot get circle radius correct in OpenLayers

I have a jsfiddle below where I attempt to create a circle 1600 meters in radius. I don't think that I have the projection right, because this circle is definitely smaller than 1600 meters. Measuring on Google Maps I think it's around 1000 meters instead. What do I need to do to correct this please>

Thank you.

var centerLongitudeLatitude = ol.proj.fromLonLat([-1.733014, 51.982989]);
var layer = new ol.layer.Vector({
  source: new ol.source.Vector({
    projection: 'EPSG:4326',
    features: [new ol.Feature(new ol.geom.Circle(centerLongitudeLatitude, 1600))]
  }),
  style: [
    new ol.style.Style({
      stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
        color: 'blue',
        width: 3
      }),
      fill: new ol.style.Fill({
        color: 'rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.1)'
      })
    })
  ]
});


var map = new ol.Map({
  target: 'map',
  layers: [
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.OSM()
    }),
    layer
  ],
  view: new ol.View({
    center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([-1.733014, 51.982989]),
    zoom: 14
  })
});

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
}

.map {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

Solution

You have an inconsistency between the SRS of the vector layer (EPSG:4326), and the center and of the circle (EPSG:3857). You need to one of the above, not both.

Try to create the layer without specifying projection, it would use the default view projection, in this case EPSG:3857 (because of OSM).

UPDATE:

After building the snippet below, I realize that the proposed change does not affect the result, not sure why just now, so I proposed the use of Polygon.circular as an alternative.
