The Northern Rivonia shopping precinct is centred on the intersection of Rivonia Boulevard and 11th Avenue, with a few outlying businesses –mostly automotive– towards 12th Avenue at the back of the Sasol Garage.  Rivonia in Sandton is officially known as Edenburg Township, but the Post Office took the name of Rivonia (it is between two rivers) to avoid confusion with Edenburg, Free State.

To get there, you would probably travel along Rivonia Road.  From the N1 Motorway, take the Rivonia off-ramp and turn South (towards central Sandton).  Turn left (east) at the third robot into 12th Avenue, then right at the next robots onto Rivonia Boulevard.  From central Sandton, travel north on Rivonia Road.  Turn east (right) at 10th Avenue, then left at the stop street on Rivonia Boulevard and go a block north to 11th Avenue.

Parking: There is free open-air parking on the street, usually with car guards in attendance.
