Cycleway 48 Healthy Route

Lambeth's Healthy Routes Network

Lambeth is committed to creating streets and neighbourhoods that are healthy, safe, inclusive, pleasant and support walking, wheeling (such as use of wheelchairs and mobility scooters), cycling and use of public transport. Enabling the community to travel more actively benefits public health and wellbeing and is part of the Climate Action Plan to become net zero compatible and climate resilient by 2030.

Healthy routes are part of Lambeth’s Transport Strategy. They are routes that have the right conditions to enable more people to walk/wheel and cycle. They link people with places they need to get to, such as schools, workplaces, shops, amenities, and public transport. Healthy routes are convenient, safe and is accessible to all. They can be on quiet streets where traffic levels are low or on main roads where dedicated space is provided for walking/wheeling and cycling.

Peckham to Streatham Healthy Route

The Peckham to Streatham Healthy Route is a key part of the Healthy Routes network, connecting neighbourhoods in and around Herne Hill, Tulse Hill and Streatham, using mainly quiet residential streets. It will be signed as TfL Cycleway 48. Google MyMap summarising the Healthy Route.

The project has four phases:

• Phases 1 and 2 between Norwood Road and Brockwell Park Gardens
• Phase 3 between Brockwell Park Gardens and A205/ Christchurch Road
• Phase 4 between A205/ Christchurch Road and Valley Road

Two short cycle routes on Pendennis Road and Upper Tulse Hill will connect the route to Streatham High Road and the Tulse Hill to Brixton Healthy Route.
