The A232 is a road running east-west in two modern counties: across far south London and 3 miles into Surrey. It connects the A24 in Ewell with the A224 Orpington bypass (in other directions).
Between Croydon and Ewell the road runs close to a northern part of the Sutton & Mole Valley Lines, impliedly from London (in this case connecting to two London terminals). Part of the long-distance, express London Buses route X26 runs along the road between Waddon and Cheam. The most common road type of the route is that of a single carriageway, the remainder a neither large nor small minority of its route is a dual carriageway.
In the 1970s the plans for the construction of the M23 motorway north of Hooley had the motorway crossing the A232 Croydon Road in Wallington between Hilliers Lane (B272) and Demense Road. It is probable that a junction would have been provided here if the motorway had been built. In the late 1970s, when the M23 plan was scaled back to omit the section across Mitcham Common, the road may have ended on the A232 at this point.
