A2, Sun-in-the-Sands Junction
The Sun in the Sands interchange was built in the late 1960's for the A2 and the A102(M), it was to be a part of the London Ringway system. The A2 branches to the left, Shooters Hill whilst the road ahead continues , under the roundabout, as the A102 (previously A102M).
Since 1981, the roundabout has been used as part of the London Marathon. The junction is part of the green route of the Marathon. This is the route that the elite runners use so it is one of most viewed interchanges seen in the race as it is quite early on the route. On race day it is closed until the last runner passes by (http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Sun_in_the_Sands SABRE Wiki).
