Bryanston is an affluent residential suburb of Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa to the north of Johannesburg. 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 https://web.archive.org/web/20111105112829/http://www.renpropresidential.co.za/property/bryanston, 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 (Johannesburg Western Bypass) freeway forms its northern boundary with access at the R511/M81 (Winnie Mandela Drive) off-ramp. It is located in Region E of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.
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.
Whilst the houses in Bryanston were once, on average, fairly large with gardens that contained many trees, over the past decades the larger properties are being converted into multi-dwelling complexes, with more houses and smaller gardens. This shift is likely caused by a combination of security reasons, an ever-increasing lack of residential space (since many people want to live in the suburb) and the high cost of city property rates and taxes in the area. Bryanston is likely named after a village in the UK.,[2] or after Bryanston Square, also in the UK.https://web.archive.org/web/20111105112829/http://www.renpropresidential.co.za/property/bryanston
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, Facebook, Nestle, Microsoft Corporation, Ogilvy & Mather, Tiger Brands, Ipsos andGoogle South Africa.[3]
