We are working closely with Lambeth Council to return the one-way road system at Vauxhall to two-way roads and improve the area for pedestrians and cyclists. We plan to start construction of the new road layout and bus station in 2021.

The proposed changes will help to improve connectivity and create a better environment for people living, working and travelling through Vauxhall.

We will:

  • Remove the existing one-way road system (Parry Street, Wandsworth Road, Kennington Way and South Lambeth Road) by converting these roads to two-way
  • Provide more cycle and pedestrian crossings as well as segregated lanes and parking for cyclists
  • Improve existing public spaces and provide new public spaces
  • Redesign the transport interchange, including a new central bus station, so that it works in a two-way arrangement

Our planning application for the proposed bus station buildings and associated buildings was approved by Lambeth Council in February 2018.

We expect to start construction in 2021 and finish by 2024, subject to approvals.
