 M11 motorway
Although not officially part of the M11, the so-called M11 extension or M11 link road (completed in 2002 despite protests against the demolition of houses in Leytonstone) completes the link between the bottom of the M11 and the south of England.
There is now a continuous dual carriageway from the Redbridge roundabout on the North Circular Road, just south of M11 J4, through the Blackwall tunnel under the Thames, to the A2 at Shooter's Hill[?] in south London.
The M11 begins at a free-flowing junction with the North Circular Road (A406) near South Woodford[?] railway station in the London Borough of Redbridge, and heads north-northeast, crossing the boundary from Greater London into Essex.

 Cabra, Drumcondra, Glasnevin, North Strand.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
A great circular road, which was to be some nine miles in length and enclose completely the city, as it then stood, was projected and successfully carried out.
The road, too, follows fairly closely the route taken by the mayor and corporation during the formal perambulation of the city liberties known as "riding the franchises." Every three years the civic train, bearing the King's sword, was wont to pass completely round the limits of its jurisdiction, thus asserting its authority wherever it went.
The "batter" is the Irish "bothair" a road.

 CBRD - Histories - Ringways - Ringway 2
The North and South Circular Roads did not escape the Ringway plans - they were to become Ringway 2, the second circular motorway from the centre of London.
The North Circular by this stage had seen some substantial realignment, both before and after the war, but the South Circular had seen almost no changes and was seen as totally unsuitable.
But the road is only partly Ringway 2 in disguise - there are numerous weak spots, particularly the road's crashing halt at Hanger Lane on the A40 and the couple of points where it returns to being a single carriageway running through a residential area.

 Finchley Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was built as a turnpike road in the late 1820s/early 1830s to provide a by-pass to the existing route north from London through Hampstead.
The Hampstead route (now the route Haverstock Hill, Rosslyn Hill and North End Road) contained two steep hills either side of Hampstead village and was difficult for horses with carriages to negotiate when muddy.
As the road crossed the boundary of Finchley, its name became Regents Park Road, indicating the destination of the turnpike as measured from Finchley.

Beyond the end of that stretch, the road quality goes down, which doesn't matter as it ends at the Woolwich Ferry, which is only used by people driving vehicles too tall to fit through the Blackwall Tunnel, or carrying prohibited goods (like explosives and inflammable materials).
The North Circular has had all its signs replaced in the last few years, mainly due to a new signage system but also, I suspect, because the authorities had enough money for the replacement, but not enough money, time, or brains to do a bit of decent research.
