The A1008 started on the A11 (current A1199) before heading along the full length of Wanstead High Street. It ended on the A115 (quickly renumbered to A106, then A12. This section was declassified on 21.12.83. It also incorporated Blake Hall Road (originally part of the A114) branching south from the A12 Cambridge Park as far as the current A114 Bush Road junction. In 1999, when the A12 was extended from Leytonstone to Eastway, the A1008 needed to end somewhere, so it seems to have taken over the old A12 Cambridge Park between the Blake Hall Road junction and Wanstead High Street. The High Street itself remains declassified.
