Help us shape our ideas for improvements along a new cycle route across Camden
Camden is developing a new east to west cycle route from Primrose Hill to Camden Town which would add to a wider cycling route called the Cross-Camden-Cycleway, stretching from the Westminster boundary in the west to Islington in the east.
We want to make it safer to get around the borough through sustainable and healthy types of transport. This includes building out a more complete cycle network, making it easier to walk, and introducing better accessibility.
There are already several convenient and safe cycle routes for people who wish to travel in a north-south direction in the borough. But we know we need to make it easier for those travelling east and west across the centre of the borough.
We are opening out a call for ideas about a Cross-Camden Cycleway. This would be a safe, easy and continuous way to cycle across the borough between Primrose Hill and Camden Town, and onward towards Islington in the east and Maida Vale in the west.
Our early ideas include better crossing points, wider pavements and adding more plants and trees. We are investing £22m in ambitious plans for walking, wheeling, cycling, public transport and high streets in the borough and so we want to hear people’s thoughts on what changes to make along this route.
This project is part of our plans to create 45km of segregated cycle lane in Camden by 2028, allowing us to improve and upgrade several major traffic junctions in the area. This scheme will help deliver the Mayor of London’s, and Camden’s, “Vison Zero” goal for road safety – for there to be no killed or seriously injured casualties on our roads by 2041.
We have created a dedicated commonplace website where you can share your views and help shape the plans at www.crosscamdencycleway.commonplace.is
The website is open for comments and feedback until January 2026. Your ideas will help feed into detailed proposals which we will undertake a full public consultation on later in 2026.
