The A1000 is a main road in the United Kingdom, going from London to Welwyn.
History
The A1000 was formerly known as the Great North Road (and parts of it still bear this name),{{cite web|title=SABRE: A1000|url=http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A1000|access-date=19 April 2016|website=sabre-roads.org.uk|publisher=The Society for All British and Irish Road Enthusiasts}} or A1, but after a bypass was built in the 1920s it became the A1000. The 1922 Road Lists describes the A1000 as Finsbury Park station to Muswell Hill, which made it a quite short road. This road was later reclassified as part of the A1201.{{Cite web|title=A1000 (Finsbury Park Station – Muswell Hill) – Roader's Digest: The SABRE Wiki|url=https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A1000_(Finsbury_Park_Station_-_Muswell_Hill)|access-date=2021-02-28|website=sabre-roads.org.uk}}
