Midilith in Croydon Legible London signage, Croydon

Legible London is a system of map-based street signs designed to make London that little bit easier to walk around.

It means that, for shorter journeys, you can swap your usual route for a healthy, and often quicker, walk instead.

Our maps provide useful information about local areas, including realistic walking times between places which can range between 5 to 15 minutes. Legible London also includes easy-to-spot signposts with a distinctive navy blue and yellow design. You can find them on streets, in bus shelters and at Tube and Network Rail rail stations. So far, we've put signs in nearly every London borough.
