From Lewisham, it runs south east through Bromley and bypasses Orpington. Entering Kent near its junction with the M25 motorway, the road becomes a dual carriageway and continues past Sevenoaks and Tonbridge. South of Tonbridge, it becomes a single carriageway for two miles until the three-mile long Pembury bypass near Tunbridge Wells.

From the southern end of the Pembury bypass, the A21 is mainly single carriageway. A bypass of Lamberhurst was opened in 2005 and the road also bypasses the villages of Flimwell and Robertsbridge. The road then continues southwards, passing to the east of its original route through Battle, before terminating in Hastings. Plans are currently being considered by the Highways Agency to dual the sections between the Tonbridge and Pembury Bypasses, and between Pembury and the new Lamberhurst Bypass. There are also controversial proposals afoot to bypass the East Sussex village of Hurst Green.

Recent changes to the road include the reduction of the Flimwell Bypass to one lane in each direction.
