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.

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.
