The southern end of the road that stretches from The Level to Ditchling Beacon. Originally one of the main London-Brighton routes that was turnpiked in the 1770s with this section developed from the 1810s onwards though it was originally known as Brunswick Terrace North. Beyond the junction with Union Road the road climbs steeply up the slopes of Round Hill and this section became impassable during the previous evening's ice and snow with a fair few abandoned cars still parked further up the following lunchtime. The section between St Peter's Place and Viaduct Road is currently part of the A23 one way system that runs around London Road.
