A1 road


 
 

The A1, at 409 miles (658 km) long, is the longest numbered British road. Joining London, the capital city of England, to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, it is also known as the Great North Road. However, where there arises a need to distinguish between the modern road, on its bypasses and some former part of the road, where it passed through the various towns, the name "A1" is sometimes reserved for the modern road, while "the Great North Road" refers to its original course.
