Highlights from 2025 include:

Camden High Street Pedestrianisation trial launch

Launched in May 2025, the 18-month trial has created a thriving space in the heart of Camden Town. Engagement and monitoring are underway, with strong early signals of improved safety and vibrancy. A consultation will be held this year to allow people to shape potential future permanent proposals.

Safer junctions delivered

Key locations such as Chalk Farm Road/Adelaide Road and Baynes Street/Royal College Street have had significant safety upgrades, including continuous pavements which show priority of people walking and wheeling and safer and dedicated signals for people cycling.

Over 5km of new and upgraded cycle infrastructure

Camden now provides over 25km of segregated cycle lanes, with a further 5.5km moving through design and construction aiming to bring the total to 30km by the end of 2026. We are currently constructing permanent, fully protected cycle tracks on Haverstock Hill and Clerkenwell Road.

Giving road space back to people

This includes 153 new Electric Vehicle Charging Points, 89 new cycle hangars, and 10 new dockless bike/e-scooter bays delivered in 2025. The first rollout of Green Mobility Hubs in Somers Town is underway which include car club spaces, Electric Vehicle Charge Points, dockless parking, cycle stands, cargo bikes and more planting.

Councillor Harrison continued:

“Projects such as these have assisted in our overall goals with increases in walking, up to 52% of all trips made in the borough – exceeding our 2041 target early, and active – travel – walking and cycling – which is now 57% of all resident trips made in the borough.

“These changes have led to a reduction of traffic volumes by almost 40% in the last 20 years, which has had in turn the further benefit of reducing harmful road transport emissions, with Nox reduced by 64%, CO₂ by 31% and PM₂.₅ by 52%.

“But we aren’t finished. We are committed to continue to deliver improvements across the borough which make it easier and safer for people to travel, from major transformational projects like Holborn Liveable Neighbourhood to local level improvements like adding planting and benches to Haverstock Hill.”
