Eastern Avenue in Ilford gets well into four figures, on the evens side at least.

The North Circular Road at Staples Corner also reaches four figures.

dg writes: 1228 Eastern Avenue and 1000 North Circular Road added, thanks!

The two mentions of Harrow Road - are these two separate roads leading to Harrow, or is it one road with the numbers re-setting to 1 at some municipal boundary?
Downham Way in Grove Park definitely goes above 600. I was stuck in a traffic jam right outside nos 598/600/602 on Saturday and those high numbers caught my attention. I was nearly at the end of the street so the numbers won't go much higher.

dg writes: 650 Downham Way added, thanks!
Suriya & Co Solicitors is at 1081 Garratt Lane. After coming all the way from Wandsworth Town to Tooting, the two sides are only about 100 out of sync (Caffee Manal is at 984)

Your old kent road number is wrong it should be 915, 911-915 are infact Cheers off licence with a slight focus on african and carribean drinks.

dg writes: extended, thanks!

The other side of the road finishes at 888 with "The Windsor" pub of which there is a good picture from 1883 here.
Uxbridge Road (the Stanmore to Pinner one) actually goes up to 661

dg writes: extended, thanks!

Quite impressive that 2 of the longest roads are called Uxbridge Road, considering the relative unimportance of Uxbridge, and interesting that the Pinner one loses the name a long way from Uxbridge
