Popes Lane, near Oxted, Surrey Popes Lane is a narrow and winding lane that has been used by motorists as a cut-through between Godstone in Surrey and the Edenbridge area of Kent, but it is not really suitable for heavy traffic and the surface has given way in places, resulting in the closure of the road to through traffic at the present time.  It is seen here after a heavy shower.

Approach to Tandridge Lane - Southlands Lane junction The road sign shows the main route to bend to the right with a side road to the left. Tandridge Lane is in the foreground - it then turns left, and the main route bends right to become Southlands Lane. The junction has been remodelled at some time - formerly the side branch was to the right and Tandridge Lane was the through route.
