Lambeth
What we are working on in Lambeth
- Streatham High Road/Graefield Gardens - We are also delivering a safety scheme on the A23 Streatham High Road. We are relocating a signalised pedestrian crossing on the A23 Streatham High Road, from just south of the junction with Woodbourne Avenue to the junction with Gracefield Gardens. This is to address a collision risk and align the crossing point where pedestrians wish to cross the road
- Vauxhall Cross gyratory - we're working with Lambeth Council to return the one-way road system to two-way and improve the area for people walking and cycling with more cycle and pedestrian crossings, segregated lanes and parking for cyclists. We'll also create new public spaces and improve existing ones. A new central bus station will work in a two-way arrangement
- Streatham Hill A23 - we are moving forward with permanent measures to make roads in Streatham much safer and less intimidating for people walking and cycling, following a public consultation that showed strong support for TfL's plans for the area
Local news
Next phase of work to improve safety at Lambeth Bridge
We will begin safety improvements at Lambeth Bridge on 30 January 2025, replacing unsignalised roundabouts with signal-controlled junctions to reduce cycle collisions. The northern junction, London's most dangerous for cyclists, saw 22 of 31 collisions from September 2021 to August 2024.
Enhancements include a cycle lane on the bridge and new pedestrian crossings. The project, part of our Safer Junction programme, also involves urgent maintenance and will connect to existing Cycleways 8 and 5. The works will cause various closures and restrictions until 15 December 2025, with TfL advising alternative transport options.
Improved safety at Tulse Hill
We recently completed work on the Tulse Hill Gyratory to slow traffic speeds and improve the safety for pedestrians crossing. Improvements include the narrowing of the carriageway and providing more pavement space for pedestrians.
Local Implementation Plan (LIP)
The LIP is produced by the London Borough of Lambeth and agreed with us. It sets out the details on transport infrastructure changes in a three-year period to support the Mayor's Transport Strategy.
Vision Zero Dashboard: Helping you access collision data
The Vision Zero dashboard is a tool designed to help organisations and members of the public easily access and interpret collision data. By providing this data in a user-friendly format, the dashboard enables users to gain valuable insights into road safety issues in their borough.
