List of A roads in zone 1 in Great Britain beginning north of the River Thames, east of the A1 (roads beginning with 1).
Single- and double-digit roads
Road | From | To | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
A1 | A1211 at Museum of London, City of London | A7 in Edinburgh | Often called the "Great North Road". London sections of road covered by separate A1 road (London) article. May have originally started at St Paul's Cathedral. Longest road in Great Britain. Parts of the road have been reclassified as the A1(M) motorway. |
A10 | A3 in City of London (The Monument) |
A47 in King's Lynn | Section round Cambridge overlaps M11 and A14. |
A11 | A1211 in City of London (Aldgate) |
A147, Inner Ring Road in Norwich | Section between Bow and Stump Cross (M11 J9) superseded by A12 and M11. Section round Newmarket overlaps A14. |
A12 | A102 in Blackwall (Blackwall Tunnel) |
A47 in Lowestoft | Section round Ipswich overlaps A14. Section between Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth redesignated as A47 in 2017. |
A13 | A11 in Whitechapel | B1016 in Shoeburyness | Old section of road replaced by A1306 around the Dagenham to Thurrock Bypass. At Canvey Island, road exit is A13, while continuing on current road is A130. |
A14 | M6, Catthorpe Interchange | A154 at Felixstowe Port | Originally the A14 was the Old North Road, which forms part of the Roman Road known as Ermine Street. It ran from Royston, Hertfordshire through Huntingdon to meet with the A1 south of Alconbury. The Royston-Huntingdon section was renumbered the A1198 to discourage through traffic. The only remaining section of the original 1970's A14 north of Huntingdon, a spur of the A604, was renamed A1307 (along with much of the 1970s A14 road from Cambridge past Huntingdon) following the opening of a second Huntingdon Bypass in 2019. |
A15 | A1(M) at Norman Cross near Peterborough | A63 in Hessle, near Hull | Crosses Humber Bridge. Used to cross Humber on ferry and run along platform of New Holland railway station. |
A16 | A180 near docks in Grimsby | A47 in Peterborough | Stretch between Spalding and Peterborough replaced the A1073 which was downgraded because it went on a similar alignment to the bypass, the previous road from Spalding to Stamford becoming the A1175. |
A17 | A1/A46 at Winthorpe, near Newark-on-Trent | A47 near King's Lynn | Originally started in Swaffham. |
A18 | A630 in Doncaster | A16 in Ludborough | Largely superseded by M180. The section of M180 between Hatfield and the M18 was designated A18(M) between 1972 and 1979. |
A19 | A638 north of Doncaster | A1 at Seaton Burn, north of Newcastle upon Tyne. | The section through and north of the Tyne Tunnel was previously the route of the A1. |

A103 | A1 in Highbury | A504 in Hornsey | Crosses the route of the former Seven Sisters to Alexandra Palace railway line. |
A104 | A1 at Islington Green | A121 in Epping, Essex | The northern section of this road, beyond Woodford Green, was originally A11. Passes through Epping Forest. |

A106 | A107 in Hackney | A12 in Wanstead | Formerly ended at Leytonstone, but according to some maps seems to have taken over bits of the old A11 and A12. Originally, the number referred to the A12 Eastern Avenue section. |
A107 | A11 in Whitechapel | A503 at Manor House | via Hackney and Clapton. Section between Stamford Hill Road (A10) and Seven Sisters Road (A503) originally B106. The section in Hackney was previously B109 and B110 but became A107 when original route (Mare Street) was pedestrianised. |
A108 | Unused | Was allocated twice. Firstly on what's now the A1080 and A10, from the A105 junction at Wood Green to the A1170 junction at Waltham Cross. Secondly, it was used for what's now the A19 from Seaham to Seaton Burn (at the time, the A19 went on the current A1018). It was sometimes an error for Griggs Approach, which was an extension to the A1083. (Griggs Approach was declassified in 2005). | |
A109 | A1010 in Whetstone | A1000 in Tottenham | Westernmost side off A1000 as Oakleigh Road North, becomes Oakleigh Road South, then re-appears off A1003 Friern Barnet Road as Station Road, across the A406 into Bounds Green Road.

A114 | A112 at Plaistow | A104 at Whipps Cross | Part of the North Circular Road until the 1980s relief road (A13) opened. |
A115 | Unused | Ran from Hackney Wick to Stratford. Eliminated in 2010; now Chapman Road, Rothbury Road, White Post Lane, and Carpenters Road. The original alignment went from Leytonstone to Valentines, which is now mostly part of the A12, which was rerouted along similar roads. | |
A116 | A118 at Manor Park | A114 at Wanstead | The majority of the route formed part of the North Circular Road until the 1980s. |
A117 | A116 at Aldersbrook | Woolwich Ferry | Woolwich Ferry Approach forms a small part of the North Circular Road. Originally much more of the route formed the North Circular Road. Meets the A112 head-on at Woolwich Ferry. |
A118 | A12 at Bow | A12 near Romford | Section between Bow and Stratford was A11, with the section east of Stratford forming the original A12. An older one went from Canning Town to Rippleside. This is now part of the A13 (which the old route became an extension of the A124 and A123). |
A119 | A1170 at Ware | A602 at Watton-at-Stone | See also A602 |
A120 | A10 at Puckeridge | B1352 at Harwich | Section between Marks Tey and Colchester overlaps with A12. Passes Parkeston Quay, terminus for ferries to Denmark and The Netherlands, and Stansted Airport. Runs full length of Harwich Quay then becomes unclassified. |
A121 | A10 at Waltham Cross | A104 at Woodford Green | via Waltham Cross and Buckhurst Hill |
A122 | Unused | Ran from Epping to Chelmsford. Rerouted to Hastingwood later. Renumbered as part of the A414 (old route now B183 and A1060). The number may be reused for the Lower Thames Crossing. | |
A123 | A113 at Chigwell | A13 at Lodge Avenue, Barking | East of Barking town centre (Ripple Road) was the original A13. A13 still uses much of the original (albeit dualled) Ripple Road towards Dagenham. |
A124 | A13 at Canning Town | B187/B1421 in Upminster | Western section was the original A13 as far as Barking. Originally ran from the A13 in Barking and terminated on A125. |
A125 | A12 North of Romford | A1306 (former A13) at Rainham | Section at Roneo Corner overlaps with A124. Section in the Romford Ring Road overlaps with A118. |
A126 | A13 at West Thurrock | A1089 in Tilbury | At junction with A13, only west facing on/off slips are provided. Some maps show A126 continuing to A1089 beyond Dock Road. Originally terminated at Tilbury Riverside Station where a road ferry crossed the Thames to Gravesend. This ferry still runs but for foot passengers only. |
A127 | A12 at Romford | A13 at Southend | Known as the Southend Arterial Road. Via Basildon; part of the eastern end was A1015. Originally built as single carriageway with provision for dualling later. |
A128 | A13 at Orsett | A414 in Chipping Ongar | used to run from Tilbury and end on A113. Route from Tilbury now A126 and unclassified. |
A129 | A1023 near Shenfield railway station | A13 at Hadleigh | Eastbound traffic in Billericay has to use A176 (unsigned) to resume journey on A129. Northbound traffic on the A132 in Wickford wishing to join the eastbound A129 where it multiplexes with the A132 requires a u-turn at the next roundabout. |
A130 | A12 at Howe Green, near Chelmsford | B1014 at Canvey Island | Used to start at Trumpington, near Cambridge. Originally ended on the A129 near Rayleigh until extended to the A127 and then Canvey Island. In 2008 from Dunmow to Chelmsford the road was downgraded to B1008. |
A131 | A12 at Boreham Interchange, near Chelmsford | A134 at Sudbury | Much of the one-way system in Sudbury, now the A131, was originally the A134 before the bypass opened. Recently, it replaced the A130 between Little Waltham and Chelmsford. |
A132 | A13 in Pitsea, Basildon | B1012 near South Woodham Ferrers | Originally allocated to the road from Colchester to Huntingdon (became part of A604, now A1124, A1017, A143, A1307, A14). Current route overlaps with A129 at Wickford. |
A133 | A1124 (former A12) near Colchester | Clacton-on-Sea, sea front | by way of Elmstead Market, Frating, Great Bentley and Weeley (Main route uses a bypass at Weeley). Has a spur from A12 to A120 at Hare Green. To the East of Hare Green, crosses former A604 (now unclassified). The Colchester bypass was originally the A12 and later became the A604. Continued north to Sudbury from 1929 to the 1970s via what is now the B1508. |
A134 | A10, south of King's Lynn | A133 in Colchester | Although this road forms the Sudbury bypass, it's the route through the town centre (A131) which has primary status. A spur of the A134 near Stradsett used to link to the A1122 (former A47) at Crimplesham. Later unclassified, this spur is still heavily used to avoid the awful staggered junction with the A1122 at Stradsett a little further north. |
A135 | A1130/A1305 Ring Road in Stockton-on-Tees | A67 at Egglescliffe | Originally this number belonged to the road from Colchester to Harwich via Manningtree in Essex; this became part of the A1124 and the A604, and is now shared between the A137 and, east of Manningtree B1352. Traffic from Colchester to Harwich is now directed via the A120. The current A135 follows part of the original route of the A19. |
A136 | A120 in Harwich | Harwich International Port | Originally this ran from Harwich to Clacton. This extended east to Harwich town later where there is another international port. Later, the section southwest of Harwich became part of an extended B1414. Later, this extended north to Parkeston Quay, west of Harwich. The section from the A120 to Harwich Town was later declassified (it is now Parkeston Road and the B1352), leaving the current section from the A120 to Parkeston Quay (Which was later rerouted on the bypass; the old route is now Station Road). |
A137 | A1214 (former A12) in Ipswich | A133 in Colchester | This road connects the town centre of Ipswich to Old Stoke by going over the Old Stoke Bridge which traverses the tidal section of the River Orwell.[1] Alton Water reservoir covers part of the former route of the A137 at Tattingstone White Horse. |
A138 | A12 east of Chelmsford | A1114 near Chelmsford city centre | Partly follows first Chelmsford city centre bypass. One-way eastbound between A1114 and first roundabout. Called Chelmer Road. Previously allocated to a road between Ipswich and Shotley Gate (now B1456). |
A139 | A1305 Ring Road at Stockton-on-Tees | A19 south of Billingham | Previously allocated to a road between Ipswich and Felixstowe where a road ferry crossed to Harwich. (This became the A45 before the bypasses opened. Note the current A14 (ex-A45) uses none of the former route of the A139.) Only south facing slips are provided at the A19 junction. Traffic must use the A1027 to access the northbound A19. |
A140 | A14 east of Needham Market | A149 near Cromer | part of original route occupied by Norwich Airport runway. Originally started on the then A45 in Claydon and followed current A14 to present starting point. |
A141 | A47 at Guyhirn | A1 & A14 Brampton Hut | Originally started on the A17 in Kings Lynn and continued to its current starting point at Guyhirn. When the new bridge opened over the River Ouse, the A141 swapped routes with the A47 between Wisbech and Guyhirn. Subsequently, the A47 was diverted onto a new alignment with the former A141 being downgraded to the B1441. This road was later declassified, but was upgraded to the B1542 in 2020. |
A142 | A141 at Chatteris | A1304 (former A11) at Newmarket | Used to pass under very low (2.7m) bridge at Ely but diverted on to southern bypass which opened in 2018. Previously met A10 at Ely Cathedral. |
A143 | B1370 at Gorleston on Sea, south of Great Yarmouth | A1017 at Haverhill | Originally started on A12 (now A47) in Gorleston and ended in Bury St Edmunds. Extended along course of B1060 to the A604 in Haverhill. However, in the 1990s, the A604 was downgraded with the A143 taking the route of the former A604 to end on the bypass. |
A144 | A12 at Darsham | A143 at Bungay | Originally continued to Norwich, the Bungay-Norwich section since renumbered B1332. Passes former RAF Halesworth which is now owned by Bernard Matthews. |
A145 | A12 at Blythburgh | A146 on Beccles bypass | Originally started in Bungay and ended as now on the A146 but ran via a different route along the East bank of the River Waveney. The road was extended to Blythburgh by the 1930s, when the original section was renumbered the A1116 (now mostly the B1062) to dissuade its use as a through route. |
A146 | A140, Outer Ring Road in Norwich | A1117 in Lowestoft | Originally ended on A12 in Lowestoft. |
A147 | Norwich | Norwich | Part of the Norwich inner ring road; previously allocated to a road between Norwich and Cromer (now A140). |
A148 | A47, southern bypass at King's Lynn | A149 Cromer | Cromer-Mundesley section of B1159 (since reclassified to a C road) was previously part of A148 (1935-1960s). Original western end was on A10/A149 near Knights Hill. |
A149 | A47 at Great Yarmouth | A148 at Kings Lynn | The dual carriageway section in Great Yarmouth was previously the A47 as was Hardwick Road in King's Lynn. The Ormesby bypass used to be the A1064. Stalham bypass occupies former railway alignment. Passes old AA phone box in layby near Hunstanton. |
A150 | Unused | Previously allocated to a road between Wisbech and Long Sutton. It is now the A1101[2] and B1359. The southern end around Wisbech is unclassified. | |
A151 | A1 interchange at Colsterworth | A17 at Holbeach | via Twenty, Bourne (old route now B1193). Pinchbeck Road in Spalding was originally the A16. |
A152 | A52 in Donington | A16 at Surfleet | Originally terminated on A16 east of Gosberton. Extended to current terminus when the new section of A16 opened in the 1990s. Originally continued west via current A52 to A1. |
A153 | A607 bypass at Honington | A16 bypass at Louth | Originally passed through Sleaford on the current B1517. At Tattershall, the original river bridge remains but is closed to traffic. |
A154 | A14 north of Felixstowe | A14 Felixstowe docks | The original alignment went from Mablethorpe to Donington (originally ended in Swineshead) with a spur to Swineshead (now the A52). The current A154 is the original route of the then A45 into Felixstowe, although the final section by the river has been lost to redevelopment. |
A155 | A153 at Tumby | A16 at West Keal | via Mareham Le Fen and Revesby. |
A156 | A57 in Drinsey Nook | A631 in Gainsborough | Has two arms in Gainsborough as traffic for A631 eastbound and A159 must turn right after passing under two railway bridges. The main route ahead only provides access to the westbound A631. Partly follows the Foss Dyke. |
A157 | A158 in Wragby | A1104 in Maltby le Marsh | Original route in Louth now B1200. Multiplexes with A16 along Louth bypass. Original bridge across River Great Eau now a layby. Until 1935, started on A15/A46 in Lincoln which is now mostly the A158. |
A158 | A15 in Lincoln | A52 in Skegness | Follows former Roman road from Langham to Lincoln. Originally started at A154 (now part of the A52) by Skegness railway station. Section of route towards Lincoln was originally the A157 but then became part of an extended A158 which also used the current A15 route to end on the former A15/A46 junction near Pottergate. |
A159 | A18 in Scunthorpe | A631 & A156 in Gainsborough | The route in Gainsborough as far as the junction with the B1433 is the original route of the A631. Used to continue into Scunthorpe town centre along now unclassified road. Crosses M180 motorway but without a junction. |
A160 | A180 at Ulceby, North Lincolnshire | A1173 at Immingham docks | Previously allocated to a road between Croxton and Barrow upon Humber. This road was rerouted via Ulceby to Immingham Docks in 1969, with the old route becoming an extension of the A1077. When the current route was built, the old route became an extension of the A1077 (which was diverted away from the centre of Wootton) and the B1211. About 1 mile long. |
A161 | A631 on Beckingham bypass | A614 at Goole | Originally this road continued west to Rawcliffe, but the A614 replaced that section when it was rerouted. The section from Beckingham to the A18 near Crowle was originally the B1187 but was upgraded in 1932. |
A162 | A1(M) at Darrington (Junction 40) | A659 (former A64) at Tadcaster | Although the road commences on the A1(M) there is no connection between the two. The A162 follows the route of the original A1 as far as Ferrybridge. The old A1 continues ahead as the A1246 with traffic for the A162 having to use slip roads. Originally started on former A1 at Brotherton. |
A163 | A19 near Barlby on Selby bypass | A614 in Holme on Spalding Moor | Originally, this road continued northeast to Driffield, but that section became part of the A614 in 1996. |
A164 | A15 in Hessle | A614 at Driffield | Originally started in the centre of Hull and used the current B1231 and an unclassified route via Kirk Ella and Willerby. The current route came into use with the opening of the Humber Bridge and Clive Sullivan Way. Used to pass through Beverley and terminated on the A166 in Driffield town centre. Some maps also mark the A164 as continuing to the A63. |
A165 | A1079 in Kingston upon Hull | A171 north of Scarborough | The non-primary section near Scarborough was the B1262 until the 1920s. Used to pass through Osgodby (near Filey) but that road is no longer open to through traffic south of the village. (A bypass for another village called Osgodby in Yorkshire on the A63 was intended to be built at the same time but this never happened.) |
A166 | A64 at Grimston Bar, York | A614 on Driffield bypass | Continued to Bridlington until 1996 when the A614 was extended over the Driffield to Bridlington section. Until the opening of the York bypass (A64), started on A66 (later A1079). |
A167 | A168 at Topcliffe | A1 at Kenton Bar | In County Durham this road largely follows the old course of the A1. Previously allocated to a road between Topcliffe and Thirsk. (now the A168 and B1448). Includes A167(M), the only section of urban motorway built as planned in Newcastle. The section through Newcastle was previously A6127 and A6127(M). Maps show the A167 having two arms north of Gosforth, one towards Westerhope and the other to Kenton. However, only the road towards Kenton is signed. |
A168 | A659 at Boston Spa | A167 at Northallerton | Originally started at Thirsk but expanded south when the A1(M) opened, using one of the carriageways of the former A1. There is a dispute about whether the dual carriageway section known as the Dishforth Spur is part of the A1(M) or the A168(M). A minor detour south of Boroughbridge was a temporary terminus of the A1(M). |
A169 | A64 bypass at Malton | A171 west of Whitby | via Vale of Pickering. North Yorkshire Moors Railway follows more or less the same route between Pickering and Whitby. Used to meet A171 at Bagdale but was diverted after the river bridge on the route was washed away in the 1930s. Further changed when Whitby bypass opened in 1972, the A171 taking over the A169 route into Whitby as part of the bypass. |
