The A4008 is a local road in south east England.
It starts at Hatch End in the London Borough of Harrow at a roundabout on the A410. It runs North from the roundabout and is known as Oxhey Lane. After 1 mile (1.6 km) it passes over the route of the Grims Dyke and Grimsdyke Golf Course is to the East. Very soon afterwards it passes in to Hertfordshire. At the border a white post with the shield of London on it marks the Greater London border. There is also a plate emblazoned with the name and arms of the former county of Middlesex. In the trees to the east, a BT microwave tower may be seen.
The road continues northwards passing the estate of Carpenders Park on its western side. There is also a cemetery here. 2 miles (3.2 km) after crossing into Hertfordshire, the road enters the Borough of Watford. There is a pub, the Load of Hay on the western side and then a small green known as Watford Heath. The road swings eastwards and winds through the village of Oxhey, now a suburb of Watford. At Bushey Station, the northbound traffic runs straight on, whereas southbound traffic is via Chalk Hill and right into Aldenham Road (passing the Victoria public house at a set of traffic lights). The road has now joined the A411 and passing under Bushey Arches at a roundabout and it becomes Lower Watford High Street. On the east of the road just after the roundabout there is a metal turnpike marker with a plaque commemorating it as the last of its type.
