The A12 at Leytonstone was constructed in the late 1990s as part of the Hackney Wick to M11 Link Road. A number of houses in the Leytonstone area had to be demolished to make way for the road which links the M11 motorway to the Blackwall Tunnel.

| Nearing Completion | Completed |
The A12 (M11 Link Road) nearing completion (late 1990s). The new six laned highway is almost ready for traffic. |
The view from Cathall Road in 2005. This photo shows the same view as the photo which was taken before the A12 construction began. What was Claremont Road is now the A12 (six laned section) which runs alongside the Tube (Central Line). There is now no evidence in this view to suggest that this part of Claremont Road ever existed. |
