Central London Cycle Grid: Cycle Quietway Edgware Road to Fitzrovia
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.
About this route
In Autumn 2015, we consulted on a project which aims to improve
provision for cycling on streets along a proposed Quietway route
between Edgware Road and Fitzrovia (to the boundary with the London
Borough of Camden). 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. Facilities for pedestrians will also
be improved as part of the scheme. This consultation closed on 19
October 2015.
The section of this route consulted on within the City of
Westminster is approximately 2km in length. The streets affected by
these proposals are Harrowby Street, Seymour Place, Crawford
Street, Paddington Street, Nottingham Place, Nottingham Street,
Marylebone High Street, Devonshire Street, Great Portland Street
and Carburton Street. The Quietway will provide a key cycle route
for people to cycle parallel to Marylebone Road. Subject to further
consultation, at a later date we intend to extend this Quietway
towards Bayswater Road and the Royal Borough of Kensington and
Chelsea.
