100km Quietway sections/ south-west London
Request ID: FOI-2368-1819
Date published: 04 February 2019
You asked
The Mayor of London answered mayoral question 2018/2877 to say that over 100km of cycling quietway routes have been built, defining built as ‘completed and signposted so that they can form part of the Quietway network.’
I am interested in five sections in the Mayor’s answer in south-west London.
a) Wimbledon to Raynes Park, 1.9km
b) Earlsfield to Wimbledon, 3.5km
c) Clapham Common to Earlsfield, 2.6km
d) Clapham Common to Tooting Common, 1.7km, and
e) Richmond Park to Teddington, 4.2km.
With the Mayor stating that these five sections are “completed and signposted”, please provide the following information for each section. I assume this information will be to hand in the project files:
1. Confirm the overall quietway route that each section belongs to, and the start and end points of each section in terms of specific streets or local landmarks. For example, I assume Clapham Common to Earlsfield section is part of Quietway 4, starts on Windmill Drive and ends near Wandsworth Prison on Heathfield Road.
2. Clarify the types of route-finding signs on each completed route section. Are purple Quietway signs installed, similar to those on Q1 or Q14? Please provide a sample of the signs that have been installed on each route in PDF format.
3. Please confirm the locations of the quietway and route finding signs installed, if the sections are “completed and signposted”.
4. Provide the date when a TfL officer or contractor visited each section and confirmed that works are complete.
5. Alternatively, confirm that the sections have not been finished and few, if any quietway signs, have been installed. Please provide a date when route-finding and quietway number signage is scheduled to be installed.
6. In the case of Wimbledon to Raynes Park, clarify whether this is intended to be an upgrade of LCN208 where no physical upgrade works have taken place. Provide a date when works are scheduled to start and expected to complete.

- Clarify the types of route-finding signs on each completed route section. Are purple Quietway signs installed, similar to those on Q1 or Q14? Please provide a sample of the signs that have been installed on each route in PDF format.
Please see table one above. All five of the sections you specify are awaiting wayfinding and therefore we do not hold the information requested.
- Please confirm the locations of the quietway and route finding signs installed, if the sections are “completed and signposted”.
Please see table one above. All five of the sections you specify are awaiting wayfinding and therefore we do not hold the information requested.
- Provide the date when a TfL officer or contractor visited each section and confirmed that works are complete.
Please see table one above and our response below. As these sections are awaiting wayfinding, a TfL officer or contractor has not yet visited site to confirm work completion.
- Alternatively, confirm that the sections have not been finished and few, if any quietway signs, have been installed. Please provide a date when route-finding and quietway number signage is scheduled to be installed.
The sections have not been finished and few Quietway signs have been installed on these sections.
- Wimbledon to Raynes Park, 1.9km
This route is under review due to large scale property development considerations within the area. With this, we do not currently have a confirmed date for the implementation of wayfinding.
- b) Earlsfield to Wimbledon, 3.5km
We are working with LB Wandsworth to review the quality of this route, including the crossing of Garratt Lane. There is currently no confirmed date for signage and wayfinding.
- Clapham Common to Earlsfield, 2.6km
We are working with LB Wandsworth to review the quality of this route, including the crossing of Garratt Lane. There is currently no confirmed date for signage and wayfinding.
- Clapham Common to Tooting Common, 1.7km
The schemes on this section have been constructed. Wayfinding of the section will be installed once the paths through Tooting Bec Common and Wandsworth Common have been widened and cycling on them has been permitted by the Secretary of State.
- Richmond Park to Teddington, 4.2km
Following a review of quality on this route, the delivery timescales have been extended. Final detailed design is currently underway, with construction planned to commence in early 2019. Signing will be installed once all construction has been finished.
- In the case of Wimbledon to Raynes Park, clarify whether this is intended to be an upgrade of LCN208 where no physical upgrade works have taken place. Provide a date when works are scheduled to start and expected to complete.
The Wimbledon to Raynes Park Quietway route was intended to be an upgrade of LCN 208. Vegetation clearance and removal of localised narrow pinch points along a 1.9km section of the route took place between January and November 2017. Further upgrades of the route on this section, including improved lighting and schemes between Lower Downs Road and West Barnes Lane, were planned to be constructed in 2018. However, due to property development considerations in the local area, the scope of the Wimbledon to Raynes Park Quietway route is under review; therefore there is currently no date set for implementation of signage and wayfinding.
The Cycling Action Plan, launched in December 2018, states that all new signed strategic cycle routes in the capital will have to meet strict new quality standards for boroughs to receive funding for routes.
