Template:Jct Tunbridge Wells Horsham
Template:Jct Hurst Green Heathfield Significant portion is now B2102 and B2192 from Heathfield to Ringmer. Until the 1990s, continued to what is now the B2244 (then part of the A229) in Hawkhurst via what is now part of the A229.
Template:Jct Unused Was a road between Frant and Hurst Green. Downgraded to the B2099 between 1968 and 1972.
Template:Jct Tunbridge Wells Lower Dicker
Template:Jct Flimwell Rye Previously allocated to a road in Cross In Hand from A265 (now B2102) to A267. This became a spur of the A267 when the current A268 was created, and is now a spur of the B2102. For a short time continued west to the then A266 in Ticehurst. Originally followed what is now the B2088 in Four Oaks.
Template:Jct Bexhill Ninfield
Template:Jct Southwick Coldean Lewes Road. Formerly part of the A27 before a bypass was constructed around Brighton in the early 1990s.

Original alignment went from Sidley Green to Glyne Gap, and was renumbered to A2036 by 1976 to discourage through traffic.

Template:Jct Hailsham Battle
Template:Jct Heathfield Chilcomb The road now takes a different route around Haywards Heath and not through the town as before (the old road is now the B2272). Original westerly end was at Stockbridge; this section became the B3049 when the road was rerouted along the middle section of the B3420. Originally followed what is now the B2102 to the then-A265 (now the B2192) in Blackboys; swapped routes when the A265 was downgraded west of the A267.
Template:Jct Haywards Heath Pyecombe Previously allocated to a road between Ringmer and Golden Cross; this was downgraded to the B2124 in the 1960s when the A265 was downgraded in the area. The road number was reused on the current route (an upgrade of part of the B2028 and B2036, though was later rerouted around Burgess Hill) around the same time.
Template:Jct Maidstone Biddenden Formerly the B2078 before it was upgraded to Class I status in the 1950s.

Previously allocated to a road between Lewes and Pevensey. Renumbered as a portion of an eastern extension of the A27 in the early 1950s. The section east of Polegate was later downgraded to the B2247 and the remainder of that section declassified when the A27 was rerouted.

Template:Jct Forest Row Lewes Original southernmost end was at Newhaven; the road was truncated to Lewes when the A26 was extended to Newhaven; this is now the B2193 and unclassified Kingston Road, Piddinghoe Road, and Lewes Road. The road originally followed what is now the A2029 into Lewes.
Template:Jct Unused Originally proposed on Worthing to Newhaven; this became part of the A259 (and the B2109 from Newhaven to Eastbourne became the B259, but two years later became the A259) right before the numbering was finalized in 1922, and the number was instead used on the road from the A275 in to the A26 in Lewes that day. That road became part of the rerouted A275 after 1960, while the old route of the A275 became part of an extended A2029.
Template:Jct Lewes Lewes Town Road, connecting the A26 and the A27; formerly part of the A27.

The original alignment went from Brighton to Portslade-by-Sea. Downgraded to the B2066 and B2194 in the 1970s.

Template:Jct Rainham Bredhurst Previously allocated to a road between Felbridge and Horsham. Renumbered as a western extension of the A264 in 1935; the route from Copthorne to Crawley is now the A2220 and the route to Horsham is now the B2195.
Template:Jct Unused Ran from the A281 south of Lower Beeding to Handcross. A spur (former A280) to the A281 was added in 1935. The A279 used to end at the A23 (now B2114) at the southern end of Handcross, but when Handcross High Street was bypassed, the A279 was extended along the old A23 to the bypass. Downgraded to an extension of the B2110 between 1993 and 1996, while the spur became part of an extended B2115.
Template:Jct Findon Angmering Originally allocated to a road cutting the corner between the then-A279 (now B2110) and the A281 in Lower Beeding. Became a spur of the A279 (now part of the B2115) in 1935 when the current A280 was created as an upgrade of part of the B2140.
Template:Jct Guildford Pyecombe Near Cranleigh the road used to head south on what is now the B2130, Stovolds Hill, a now-destroyed road, and Dunsfold Road to Alford, where it rejoined the modern route. The road was rerouted with the construction of Dunsfold Aerodrome during World War II. Previously followed Old Guildford Road in Broadbridge Heath, and West Street and East Street in Horsham.
Template:Jct Darenth Thurrock Dartford Crossing (includes Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and Dartford Tunnel), part of the London Orbital (M25).

Previously allocated to a road between Broadbridge Heath and Five Oaks. Renumbered as an extension of the A264 between 1934 and 1936, probably as part of the 1935 renumbering.

Template:Jct Milford Shoreham-by-Sea
Template:Jct Houghton Littlehampton
Template:Jct Petworth Chichester May have been previously used in Charing from the A20 to the A252, but it was likely a typo as the number was already in use. Became part of the A252 in the early 1930s, although it could have been the A292 before that.

Template:Jct Hook Haslemere
Template:Jct Southsea Portsmouth
Template:Jct Strood Gillingham
Template:Jct Canterbury Whitstable
Template:Jct Sturry Herne Bay
Template:Jct Ashford M20 at Willesborough, Kent Previously allocated to Magazine Road in Ashford as an upgrade of the B2072. Later became part of the A28 (either as a spur or mainline), but is now unclassified. May have been used in Charing between the A20 and the A252 along the possible former A285 (also a typo), but was likely a typo for the A252.
Template:Jct Portslade Bypass and A27 junction. Portslade
Template:Jct Unused Ran between Chichester and Bognor Regis as an upgrade of the B2143. Renumbered as an extension of the A259 as part of the 1935 renumbering.
Template:Jct Hailsham Amberstone, East Sussex Previously allocated to a road between Dartford and Oxleas Wood (now A2 and Rochester Avenue; the old route of the A2 was partially declassified and the rest became part of the A207).
Template:Jct Dartford Bean interchange, near Bluewater Former route of the A2. Originally allocated to Watling Street from the A226 to the A2 (now the current A296). Extended east over the old route of the A2 in 1972 and rerouted along the current route in 1978.

Template:Jct Crayford Slade Green
Template:Jct Chislehurst Road, Sidcup High Street, Sidcup

Template:Jct Crawley A23 at Crawley Previously allocated to Waterden Road from A246 to A322 in Guildford (now a spur of the A246).
Template:Jct Ran from the A28 through the centre of Canterbury to the A28. Was originally planned to be assigned to the bypass, while the A28 was planned to go through the centre, but this was flipped when it was found that the bypass was more widely used.
Template:Jct Ran from A253 (now High Street) to A255 (now King Street) in Ramsgate. Now part of the A255 due to pedestrianization in the center of Ramsgate.
Template:Jct Ran from the then-A2 to the then-A259 in Dover via Priory Road. Renumbered A256 when Biggin Street was pedestrianized, but may have been a spur far earlier.
Template:Jct Ran along Scanlons Bridge Road in Hythe, linking the A259 to the A261. Now part of the A259 one-way system, but it remains two-way to allow traffic to head west without going around the loop.
Template:Jct Ran from A262 to A28 in High Halden, forming the third side of a triangle between the A262 and the A28. Became part of a rerouted A262, although the A2009 may have been a spur of the A262 before this.
Template:Jct Seven Dials, Brighton West Street, Brighton
Template:Jct M23 J10 A23 at Crawley The original one ran from the A3 south to Clarence Pier in Portsmouth (became part of the A288), and after this, ran from Ditton to Bearsted via Aylesford (now Station Road, Forstal Road, Sandling Lane, and Bearsted Road).
Template:Jct Reserved Reserved in April 2004 for the Thames Gateway Crossing.

First used from the A223 (now declassified High Street) to the A224 in Orpington; this became an extension of the A232 in the 1930s (probably in the 1935 renumbering).

Next used from Leatherhead to Fetcham; this was downgraded to the B2122.

It also may have been used near Hook connecting the A30 to the A32 as a replacement of a section of the A287, but this was probably a typo for the A3062. It became the A287 again in 1935.

Template:Jct First used along London Road, High Street, and White Post Hill through Farningham along an old routing of the A20. Later downgraded to Class II status (apparently early on) and is now unclassified.

Template:Jct A21 near Tonbridge A26 near Tonbridge Previously allocated to Bull Lane, High Street, and Old London Road in Wrotham along an old routing of the A20. Now unclassified; the western junction with the A20 is now gone due to the M20 and Bull Lane has been split in two by the A227 bypass.
Template:Jct Catford Beckenham
Template:Jct Plumstead Erith Previously allocated to Fraser Road from A206 (now Pembroke Road) to A206 (now Walnut Tree Road) in Erith; this became part of the A206 while the road was reassigned to the old route of the A206 (now Pembroke Road, Jessett Close, West Street, and Walnot Tree Road).
Template:Jct Strood Strood North Street; signed as a spur of the A228
Template:Jct Bexley Dartford
A2019 Unused
Template:Jct Ran along the old A20 through Maidstone; created in 1961 when the section of the M20 between what is now J5 and J8 opened as the A20(M), but was renumbered in 1977 to its original designation of A20 when the M20 was extended. There was an earlier A2020, but its location is unknown.
Template:Jct Willingdon Eastbourne
Template:Jct West Wickham Epsom Previously allocated to a road from Kingsfold to A29; this became a spur of the A29, and is now the unclassified Marches Road.
Template:Jct Hove West Blatchington
Template:Jct Ran from Crockerhill to Climping as an upgrade of the B2144. The road was split in two by Tangmere Airfield during WWII, and was never replaced. The western half later became the B2144 again, while the eastern section was rerouted to link up with the A27 near Crockerhill. What remained of the route was downgraded to Class II status as the B2233 in the 1970s.
Template:Jct South Lancing North Lancing From junction with A259, north to junction with A27 at Lancing Manor Roundabout.
Template:Jct Thames Road, Dartford Home Gardens, Dartford Previously allocated to Kingston Road and High Street in Ewell, with spurs on London Road and Cheam Road.
Template:Jct Ran from A271 at Boreham Street to A269 (now B2204) west of Battle as an upgrade of the B2097. Downgraded in the 1980s to the B2204, but was upgraded again in the 1990s to the A271 (the B2204 moved to the former A269).
Template:Jct Ran along former A21 from the A21 (now B2211) to Sevenoaks; the southbound side followed the former A21 and the northbound side followed the former B2211. Renumbered as an extension of the A224 after the M25 was built. There was an earlier A2028, but its location is unknown.

Template:Jct A259 at Folkestone A260 at Folkestone
Template:Jct M20 near Channel Tunnel Folkestone
Template:Jct Ran from A2 via High Street (the old route of the A2) in Chatham to the A2; this became part of a then-new one-way system on the A2, except for one pedestrianized portion, but when the one-way system on the A2 was eliminated, the route was declassified except for the eastern end that is part of an A2 gyratory. Route may be classified as the C460.
Template:Jct North of Bexhill East of Bexhill
Template:Jct Henfield Upper Beeding
Template:Jct Brighton Brighton
Template:Jct Ran along Park Hill Road from the A232 to the A212 in Croydon. Now part of the B243, although it is still signed as A2039 at both ends.

Number also appears on a Tourist Information sign in Canterbury, referring to the route that runs from the A2 to the A290. This route is actually the A2050; the A2039 number has been found nowhere else, suggesting that it is a typo.

A2074 - A2078 Unused
Template:Jct Number given to the section of former B2164 (now A2070) from M20 J10 to the A28 outside Ashford.

Template:Jct Reserved Ran along Titmore Lane linking the A27/A280 grade separated junction to the A259 roundabout with the A2032. The number was reserved when the new grade separated junction was built as Titmore Lane was proposed to be improved to support new housing development, and would be numbered A2700 when works were completed.
