If you have not responded yet, please do it now!! The consultation aims to draw out people's experience of using Bank junction - information which cannot be simply derived from traffic movement surveys. Your views and number of responses have an effect! Just one week to go! bank-taxi.commonplace.is

Unless you are an avid player of cycle lane bingo, don't bother with the comments 🙄... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"We don't think we can build a meaningful cycleway without bus stop bypasses that meets national and London standards”. Quite. www.mylondon.news/news/transpo...

This can’t come soon enough. 👏 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Fore St had been re-opened

2/ (Bi)Cycles are now the dominant mode of vehicular traffic over the bridges into the City of London: > Blackfriars, cycleway #C6 #CS6: 13.3k/day, 40% > London, extending #C4, 19.7k/day, 57% > Southwark, cycleway #CS7, 5.2k/day, 36% City of London PDF: www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/assets/Servi...

New with-flow cycle lane on the resurfaced Eldon St, leading on to Liverpool St's Lizzie Line entrance. This was mapped on the Central London Grid. Had hoped there might be a contraflow lane instead. @safecycleldn.bsky.social @citylcc.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social

So I started looking into this to outline the conspiracy theory. But what I found was a genuinely beautiful piece of practical idealism. A small, attainable progressive change that would hugely improve people's lives. I was inspired by it.

Meanwhile Fore St (part of north south cycle route thru City) is completely closed with a plethora of signs but not one indication of where to go if you are on a bike.

Yes this is typical. And if you proceed up to turn right into Charterhouse St you are stuck at a two phase right turn with no visible signal, because the temporary lights are behind you.

I walked the length of Wilson Street and Paul Street to a meeting this morning. Two local authorities, but a complete failure in accessibility from end to end on both sides. More surfaces uneven than even. Terrible dropped kerbs throughout. Missing dropped kerbs on desire lines which don't

⏰⚠️⏰⚠️ ALERT! The Bayswater road consultation is under heavy threat despite the obvious benefits. The weekend saw 400+ responses and it's IMPERITIVE we show strong support ahead of the WEDS 28th DEADLINE. Please take a moment to add your voice here: cmsbayswaterroad.commonplace.is/en-GB/ 💪🚴💪 More ⬇️

They really are saying, without any shame or self awareness, that it should be a political priority for DfT to spend hundreds of millions of pounds of scarce public money on engineering an ailing wrought iron Victorian monument to be able to carry SUVs between two of the UK’s richest neighborhoods

Quite dispiriting really to watch a parade of Labour and Lib Dem politicians who should know better embrace post-truth era and repeat falsehoods in service of a wildly expensive, climate and air quality trashing road building scheme to funnel more motor traffic back into inner London from the shires

This great news. Well done!

The City's traffic reduction objectives laid out in their Transport and Vision Zero Strategies have gone into reverse in recent months. It's time for a u-turn. bank-taxi.commonplace.is

Fwiw workers on site yesterday said the c3 c6 cycle link would reopen 'in a couple of months'. The sooner the better!

Cheer up these grey days by getting a ticket for @hackneylcc.bsky.social - great fun, good food and fab band @londoncycling.bsky.social @citylcc.bsky.social @camdencyclists.bsky.social

Regent's canal is a popular🚴‍♀️route - efficient, vehicle free & scenic. But cycling after dark vs during the day feels a vastly different proposition. How socially safe would you feel here at night? @londoncycling.bsky.social volunteers tested 2 new proposed routes to bypass the canal ⬇️

Disappointing back sliding as the City of London Streets and Walkways committee resolve to keep Old Jewry open to southbound traffic. What's not to like about a rat run spewing traffic across the Cheapside pavement.

Look like the deep shaft on Arthur St that went down to the 🚂 station below has finally been (or is almost) closed up. The planned changes at the bridge end of the road will hopefully follow soon. @raynoldchow.bsky.social @edmondchuihw.bsky.social

The diagram shows, in black, the national annual distance cycled. On top of this I have drawn the growth rates seen in the City of London and Wilmslow Road in Manchester. A few schemes see a phenominal growth (the heavy lifting) but there aren't enough of them (yet) to affect the national picture.

It's time to put in your suggestions to the Fenchurch St Healthy Streets Plan to improve cycle provision in the area between Fenchurch Street and Lower Thames Street in the City of London. This early consultation closes Fri 17 October. www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/services/str...

Good news! It's been confirmed this morning that contraflow cycling will return to King William Street next Monday, assuming that the road surfacing goes as planned this weekend.

I love the Strand Aldwych. It used to be four lanes of traffic that cut off St. Mary le Strand Church, but now it's a space for people and plants. Once these changes are made in cities, no one ever wants to revert to the way things were. ♥️ London

City of London police are holding a bike and phone marking event on FANN STREET on FRIDAY 15TH AUGUST between 12:00-14:00.

Disappointed that TfL has abandoned its plans to replace the Wandsworth Gyratory with no alternative ideas. 2014 it was a “car-clogged one-way system hostile to pedestrians and cyclists” and nothing changed since. Is it too late to safe Wandsworth Town? @willnorman.co.uk @wandsworthls.bsky.social

Pedestrianise the west end! 🙄 @westminster-Icc.bsky.social

The resurfaced C11 outside Bart's Hospital. Was told that the West Smithfield section of C11 (where it meets C6) is opened permanently (with a mini-hint of "unless..."). @citylcc.bsky.social

A tweet from City of London Police: Do you cycle in the City? We're running a free bike marking session this week to help keep your bike safe. We'll be at the junction of Moor Place and Moorgate between 0800 - 1000 on Wednesday 30 July 2025.

Cornhill has now reopened. @citylcc.bsky.social

Campaigners! 🙌🏻 What’s a term for when you shout until you’re blue in the face about a stretch of road and nothing gets done- for YEARS? 🗓️ “Stuck Record Blues” maybe? 😢🎵🎤 Any others? Because I’ve had serious Stuck Record Blues this week - and there’s a story behind it. 🧵1/18

ADVANCE WARNING From Monday 28th July taxis will be permitted East-West through Bank Junction during the restricted hours 7AM to 7PM, eroding the utility for people cycling.

🚨 NEW REPORT: Today, I'm proud to launch ‘Changing the Narrative – Ending the Acceptance of Road Death in London’ 👉 www.london.gov.uk/caroline-rus... To mark the launch, I’m hosting a roundtable at City Hall today with campaigners, bereaved families, crash survivors, policy experts, TfL and more.

👷 TfL's new plans for Shoreditch High Street are an improvement on previous junction redesigns, but simply aren't safe enough for people riding through... Check out the blog for a full breakdown of our thoughts: bit.ly/46YXovp

The West Smithfield end of C11 is open again, hopefully more permanent this time. There *might* even be little indications that the left side in pic 4 could be getting readied to be reopened. @edmondchuihw.bsky.social @raynoldchow.bsky.social

City of London Police: On Saturday 12 July at 12.44pm a cyclist collided with a bus whilst crossing Farringdon Street. The cyclist has suffered life changing injuries. If you have any information, including dashcam footage, call 020 7601 2115 or email [email protected]

Everyone should watch this! It's a delightful & joyous celebration of how we're transforming London into a cycling city. Brilliant to see ... but there's much more hard work to do. #LondonLovesCycling 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OunB...

🏆 2025 Healthy Streets Scorecard has the City of London top this year, climbing from 2nd place in 2024, for its delivery of sustainable transport, low car dependency, and healthy streets www.healthystreetsscorecard.london/results/your...

Black cabs will be allowed through Bank jn, eastwards only from 28 July then both ways from October. Simon Munk of London Cycling Campaign: "Reintroducing more motor traffic to a now beautiful, calm and people-friendly space risks significantly worsening the jn." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The experiment to allow taxi access on Cornhill and Poultry across Bank starts on Monday 28 July. This will start eastbound only from Poultry to Cornhill and then be fully open in October to westbound. We will be monitoring the situation. cityoflondon.gov.uk/allchangeatbank

We have also submitted written evidence today. We are extremely concerned about these exclusionary amendments which would make comprehensive safe cycling for children, families & many disabled people impossible.

Ranty stating very clearly here why there should not be any reference to bus stop design in the Bus Services [No.2] Bill as it would bring cycling as transport to an end for most people in England.

⚠️ Looks like cycleway #C3 #CS3 gets diverted 5+6 July into the Castle Baynard road tunnel, as CB Street will be closed each day 7am-8pm 📸 x.com/a1_bloke/sta...

📅 It's been nearly a week since we launched our Dare to Dream campaign, calling on the Mayor to dream bigger when it comes to cycling in the capital! 🧑‍💻 Taken the action yet? Email Sadiq today and ask him to be bolder: bit.ly/43YSUC7
