Issue details

Westminster City Council, in partnership with Transport for London and other local authorities, is supporting the delivery of a proposed Central London Cycle Grid. This Cycle Grid is being funded under the Mayor of London's Vision for Cycling, a 10-year plan delivering cycling improvements across London. The plan includes a network of Quietways and Cycle Superhighway routes, providing connected ways for cycling across central London.

This project aims to improve provision for cycling on streets along a proposed route between Fitzrovia and Pimlico. It will benefit all people who want to cycle in the area, particularly those wishing to avoid some of the busier, highly trafficked main roads. Improvements to pedestrian facilities have also been proposed as part of the scheme.

The section of this route consulted on within the City of Westminster is approximately 4km in length. The streets affected by these proposals are:
Cleveland Street
Mortimer Street
Berners Street
Wardour Street
Whitcomb Street
Pall Mall East
Trafalgar Square
Spring Gardens
The Mall
Horse Guards Road
Storey’s Gate
Victoria Street
Great Smith Street
Marsham Street
Herrick Street
Bulinga Street
John Islip Street

This proposed route will intersect with the proposed East-West Cycle Superhighway at Birdcage Walk, which is being delivered by Transport for London. To the north, this route will connect with a proposed Quietway from Edgware Road to Fitzrovia, which has been consulted on in autumn 2015. Details of this previous consultation can be found on our website. To the south, this route will connect with Cycle Superhighway 5 along Bessborough Gardens and Vauxhall Bridge Road, which has recently been implemented by Transport for London.
