I want to travel from King's Cross to Tower Hill, but apparently the end of the line is Liverpool Street or Aldgate. When the service reaches whichever of these stops, do I have to get off & wait on the platform for a train to resume the 'circle', or can I stay on as it travels in a circle as there is no such 'end of the line'?

No, the vast majority of trains on the Circle line just keep going round and round and round...
You may find some, at the end of peaks and in the evening, terminating somewhere on the way round, like Moorgate or Edgware Road.
The Circle Line also shares tracks in places with the District Line, the Metropolitan Line (City Branch) and the Hammersmith and City line. The Metropolitan Line terminates at Aldgate - perhaps this is what you've seen?
Just make sure you get on the train showing the correct destination (or 'Circle Line') and you'll be fine.

The Circle line trains go round continuously. Crew changes take place at Edgware Road so this shouldn't affect your journey.
The line is controlled from two places. The top bit, shared by the Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines, is controlled by the Metropolitan Line Control Room at Baker Street. As the train reaches Minories Junction (just past Aldgate, if you are travelling clockwise on the outer rail), control passes to the District Line Control Room at Earl's Court. Therefore, you may experience a slight delay here if priority is given to a westbound District Line train coming from Aldgate East.

You can stay on the train.
However, as Aldgate is the only station served by the Circle line where a train can wait without delaying other trains, any excessive layover is taken here. (The scheduled time for a circuit of the Circle Line is about 49 minutes. With a seven and a half minute headway, there could be three and a half minutes to wait at Aldgate.)

When you are on the East bound platform at King's Cross(Metropolitan, District and Circle) check the digital displays. Don't get on trains shown as going to Barking or Upminster. If the train arriving shows up on the display as 'Aldgate' you will need to get off at Aldgate and wait for any other train stopping at the platform to take you to Tower Hill as 'Aldgate' trains will be on the Metropolitan Line which terminate there and do not continue around the circle.
You could also walk from Aldgate to Tower Hill it's not far.
Trains at King's Cross with any other destinations shown on the boards than those mentioned above will take you all the way to Tower Hill without the need to change.

That stretch of track has three lines (Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & CIty) running across the same physical track and therefore will share the same platfoms. The Circle Line trains will keep going round and round. You can stay on these trains and go round. The Metropiltan Lines and Hammermith trains are different lines which do not go round i.e. not a circle. They will therefore have a terminating station. It should also be said that Circle Line trains could be taken out of service for a variety of reasons (including reducing trains from a peak to off peak service) and therefore may terminate at any station.
The short answer to your question is to get on a Circle Line train that will go to your station. Do not get on a Metropolitan or Hammersmith train.

The circle line trains go round continuously, it will take you straight to Tower Hill.
Penfold has made a good point about other trains leaving the same platform.

No, i do not imagine that maximum Christians would oppose this, I easily do not and would probable sense that way myself if in his position. medical technological know-how keeps human beings alive now who would have died quickly after injuries or intense ailment and so on. some years in the past. human beings quote the announcing "the position there is life, there is desire" although the desire to which they refer typically does no longer exist. Many are being kept alive because the centers are there to keep them alive yet what type of life is it? Many would have favourite to really have died in an coincidence than be 'kept' for a life of discomfort or lack of ability to do some thing except lie there. Asking to no longer be kept alive is different from asking to be killed. figuring out to withdraw remedy must be the alternative of the affected human being, no longer the kin or the wellbeing care specialist.

Stay on. If the driver is due a break they will just stop somewhere for a few minutes and change drivers.
