Overall View of The Road
The A21 begins in Lewisham, almost 4 miles (6.4 km) southeast of the centre of London. Passing through Catford, Bromley and Farnborough, twenty miles (32 km) from the start of the journey, it reaches the Kent border and the open countryside. Shortly afterwards the M25 is reached, which it multiplexes with for about 5 miles (8.0 km). Afterwards, the remainder through Kent heads south east for around 26 miles (42 km). This section is mostly a dual carriageway, there is, however, a few short stretches of single carriageway, resulting in frequent Traffic Congestion, especially in peak periods. After the East Sussex border, the road is mostly a single carriageway route, sometimes with steep gradients. Another bypass takes the A21 around the narrow road through Salehurst and Robertsbridge. Immediately before Hastings is the final hill, almost four miles (6.4 km) in length.

Famous quotes containing the words view and/or road:
“As in hoary winter’s night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
“Since the war nothing is so really frightening not the dark not alone in a room or anything on a road or a dog or a moon but two things, yes, indigestion and high places they are frightening.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
