Bryanston is an upper class residential suburb of Johannesburg,
South Africa. It was in established 1969 as a suburb of
Sandton, but after municpal boundaries were revised following
the end of Apartheid, it was merged with Johannesburg to form
part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality. The
six lane N1 freeway forms its northern boundary with access at William
Nicol offramp. It is located in Region 3.
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 is
also based at The Campus, Microsoft Corporation, and Ogilvy & Mather.
Bryanston is named after a village in the UK.
A new exclusive suburban centre was established, while at the same time
maintaining the park-like residential areas of the two surrounding suburbs.
The Sandton City shopping complex is supposedly the largest non-metropolitan
shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere. Along with hundreds of smart
formal shops you can find the work of local artists and craftswomen selling
handicrafts of the highest quality on the
Sandton square.
