Built in 1928 to mark the northern most point of the newly created borough of Brighton where the main road from London entered the town. Road widening has since isolated the right hand pillar
Nicknamed the 'Football' roundabout because of the sculpture on its SW side. Viewed from the S. The roundabout gives access to the Broadfield Stadium (on the left, out of view).
At the junction of Kennington Park & Camberwell New Roads, serving the Northern Line.
