The A24 is a major road in England that runs for 53.2 miles (85.6 km) from Clapham in south-west London to Worthing on the English Channel in West Sussex via the suburbs of south-west London, as well as through the counties of Surrey and West Sussex.

Between Clapham and Dorking, the A24 closely follows the route of the old Roman road Stane Street. The Morden branch of the Northern line runs under the road from Clapham via Colliers Wood to Morden. Cycle Superhighway 7 also runs along the road from Clapham to Colliers Wood.

It heads south-west as Clapham Common South Side and passes Clapham South tube station. It enters Balham in the London Borough of Wandsworth and changes name to Balham Hill. There are here shops on both sides of the road. It becomes Balham High Road and passes Balham station before reaching Tooting Bec tube station and its junction with the A214. It enters Tooting and becomes Upper Tooting Road. It runs downhill and becomes Tooting High Street before heading past Tooting Broadway tube station and its junction with the A217 Garratt Lane.
