The junction with the A214 at Crystal Palace is the meeting point of four London Boroughs – London Borough of Bromley, London Borough of Croydon, London Borough of Lambeth and London Borough of Southwark. The Vicar's Oak, a tree which stood here from the 16th century was once the traditional marker of this boundary.[2]
