Bryanston, Gauteng is an affluent residential suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. First named as an area in 1949, it was established in 1969 as a suburb of Sandton and provided with tarred roads and municipal services [1], but after municipal boundaries were revised following the end of Apartheid, Sandton was merged with Johannesburg to form part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The multi-lane N1 Western Johannesburg Bypass freeway forms its northern boundary with access at William Nicol offramp. It is located in Region E.
Bryanston is bifurcated by Bryanston Drive, running from the outskirts of Randburg to the beginning of Morningside.
It has a fairly new corporate area called The Campus running along the two main roads, William Nicol and Main Road. Many large corporations are based in Bryanston, such as Dimension Data (DiData), which runs a large corporate campus (The Campus), GlaxoSmithKline, which are also based at The Campus, Facebook, Microsoft Corporation, Ogilvy & Mather, Tiger Brands, and Ipsos. The long-established Bryanston Country Club, founded in 1948 is in the heart of Bryanston. Families with school aged children compose a large part of the Bryanston community due to the excellent private school system that is ranked as best in Gauteng.
Mediclinic Sandton is one of the biggest hospitals in Gauteng. It is a private hospital operating 24-hour emergency services. The hospital is located in the heart of Bryanston, on the corner of Main Road and Peter Place.
