About Lyttelton

The suburb of Lyttelton was one of the original suburbs that made up the old Verwoerdburg. Lyttelton was granted City Council status in 1962, and was comprised of Doornkloof, Irene and Lyttelton. The initial Lyttelton Township was marked out on the farm Droogegrond in 1904, and Lyttelton Manor was established in 1942.

Lyttelton was renamed Verwoerdburg in 1967 after the architect of apartheid, Hendrik Verwoerd. In 1995, Verwoerdburg was renamed Centurion. Due to the fact that Lyttelton was one of the original suburbs of Centurion, it boasts large stands with established gardens and plenty of trees.

The suburb is bordered by the Groenkloof Nature Reserve to the North, Clifton Avenue to the West, Smuts Avenue to the East (Waterkloof Airforce Base) and Limpopo Avenue to the South (Doringkloof). The arterial Roads provide easy access to the Highways leading to Johannesburg, Krugersdorp, Midrand, Pretoria, OR Tambo International Airport as well as Lanseria Airport.
