There is one controlled pedestrian crossing.

History

Original Walthamstow route

The A1082 was a very short A road in Walthamstow. It started on the A104 Lea Bridge Road and headed along a short section of Whipps Cross Road to end on the A406 Woodford New Road.

The A1082 was originally part of the B160 but came into being in the mid-1920s following the construction of the A406 Woodford New Road. The A406 continued onto Whipps Cross Road and the A1082 number was given to that part of the road that remained.

The road now forms the western side of the Whipps Cross Roundabout and the A406 has moved elsewhere.
