History
Original Walthamstow route
The A1082 was a very short A road in
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.
