<br/>Always a busy street. Here an Atlantean double decker of London Country is on its way to Reigate on Route 411, while behind is a London Transport Routemaster on the 109 to Purley. In 2007, Route 411 no longer operates, while the 109 does not come this far south, only reaching Central Croydon.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Bynes Road runs east from a junction with Brighton Road, but it is of no use to rat-runners, as after turning sharp right it bends right again and comes out on Sanderstead Road.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>For many years this handsome Victorian pub had stood proudly at the junction of Sanderstead Road and Brighton Road in South Croydon. The destination 'South Croydon, Red Deer' still appears on many buses short-working to this point, which is near the South Croydon bus garage.
