New North Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New North Road [0.8 mile (1km) in length] (and is part of the A1200) is a road in northern central London, forming part of a link road from the A1 at Highbury into the City of London at Moorgate. This link road consists of Canonbury Road and New North Road, before several smaller sections to the south leading into the City.

This part of the link begins at the Essex Road crossroads in the London Borough of Islington: Canonbury Road enters from the north-west, whilst New North Road continues in a south-easterly direction. It continues south-east and crosses into the London Borough of Hackney, passing to the west of Shoreditch Park. It bears to the south, and ends at a junction with Pitfield Street. The link road continues shortly before the end of New North Road, to become East Road for a short distance, before meeting up with City Road near Moorfields Eye Hospital and Old Street station.
