The A114 road is a road in east London, England. It runs from Whipps Cross University Hospital to Plaistow, passing Wanstead, Forest Gate and Upton. [1]
The A114 starts at Whipps Cross Roundabout with the A104 (part of which was also part of the NCR), and heads southeast towards the Green Man Roundabout in Leytonstone. Before the A12 was extended towards Hackney Wick (with an underpass beneath the roundabout) the A114 had exits both north and south, but in 1999, the southern exit was redirected slightly westward to debouch onto the A11 Leytonstone High Road. Now the A11 has been removed there is a useless multiplex on the A106 before the A114 regains its number by turning left at traffic lights immediately south of the roundabout.
Bush Road carries southbound A114 traffic in an eastward direction, until it reaches the junction with Blake Hall Road. It turns right (left is the A1008 which was originally part of the A114; ahead the unclassified Overton Drive), and then due south. The A116, quickly diverging southeastward at a roundabout on Wanstead Flats, carried the NCR tag in olden days, so the A114 south of here has always been non-primary. It crosses the Flats as Centre Road, and then as Woodgrange Road goes under the Barking - Gospel Oak railway, then rapidly over the GER at Forest Gate, and crosses the A118. As Upton Lane, it continues southward, with a bit of a west then south kink between St. George's Road and West Ham Park Road. Then it crosses the District Line/London-Tilbury Line just east of Plaistow and almost immediately comes to a halt at the A112 Plaistow High Street traffic lights.
The original northern end of the A114 was on the A115 (soon renumbered A106, now bypassed by the A12) Cambridge Park in Wanstead; it ran southwards along Blake Hall Road to join its current route.
Whipps Cross Road was originally numbered B160 and Bush Road, B162. The construction of the North Circular Road in the 1920s upgraded Whipps Cross Road to become part of it, as a section of the A406. Future changes are difficult to research owing to the short length of these segments. However, the B162 does not seem to have lasted much longer than the 1930s so presumably became part of the A406.
By the 1950s, however, the A406 had been rerouted further east suggesting that the A114 took on its current route then. The original northern section of the road, along Blake Hall Road became a southern extension of the A1008, presumably at the same time.
The southern end of the A114 has also moved albeit not as much. It ran along Pelly Road and North Street to end slightly further east on the A112. This road is now closed to through traffic and the A114 runs along Clegg Street to the west. This change happened in the 1970s.
The Jubilee line is a London Underground line that runs between Stratford in east London and Stanmore in the suburban north-west, via the Docklands, South Bank and West End.

The M2 is a 26-mile (42 km) long motorway in Kent, England, and was built to bypass a section of the A2 road in Kent, which goes through the Medway Towns, Sittingbourne, and Faversham. It provides an alternative route to the Port of Dover, which supplements the M20 motorway located further to the south. The terminal junctions of the M2 intersect with the A2, which come together to form a 62-mile (100 km) long trunk road from London to Dover.
The M23 is a motorway in the United Kingdom, running from the south of Hooley in Surrey, where it splits from the A23, to Pease Pottage, south of Crawley in West Sussex where it rejoins the A23. The northern end of the motorway starts on what is effectively a 2-mile (3.2 km) spur north of junction 7 of the M25 motorway. From Hooley it runs for 17 miles (27 km) past Redhill, Gatwick Airport and Crawley. A spur runs from junction 9 to Gatwick Airport.

The A1023 is an A-road in Essex, England that goes from junction 28 on the M25 through Brentwood to the A12. The road was originally a Roman road which linked London and Colchester. It opened in 1966, after the A12 was re-routed along the current Brentwood Bypass.

Xnaheb is an archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization, one of five primary sites identified in the southern Belize region. The center is built on a ridge of foothills that extends from the Maya Mountains, in what is now the Toledo District of Belize. Based on certain architectural similarities between the two sites, it is possible that Xnaheb was founded as an offshoot of Nim Li Punit.
The Queens' Sitting Room is a small sitting room located in the northeast corner of the second floor of the White House. It was used as part of the president's offices until 1902 when the West Wing was built. The room became a sitting room for guests in the Queens' Bedroom in 1902. As a part of the Kennedy White House restoration the room was redecorated by Stéphane Boudin of the firm Maison Jansen. The walls are covered with a heavy cotton Toile de Jouy fabric.
