Brockwell Park to Gipsy Hill Healthy Route
The Brockwell Park to Gipsy Hill (also known as Rosendale Road) Healthy Route is key part of the Healthy Routes network. It connects several:
- neighbourhoods
- schools
- businesses
- workplaces
- green spaces
- amenities
- public transport hubs.
Lambeth is committed to creating streets and neighbourhoods that are healthy, safe, inclusive and pleasant. We want to enable the community to travel more actively, as this benefits public health and wellbeing, and is part of Lambeth's Climate Action Plan to become net zero compatible and climate resilient by 2030.
The Healthy Route network is part of Lambeth’s Transport Strategy The routes are convenient, safe and 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.
The project has 4 phases:
- phase 1 - between Brockwell Park and Turney Road (built in 2021)
- phase 2 - between Turney Road and A205 South Circular (built in 2023)
- phase 3 - between A205 and Park Hall Road (in development)
- phase 4 - between Park Hall Road and Gipsy Hill station (In development)

Background
Background
August 2015 – January 2016 - residents and stakeholders were consulted on various proposals, as part of the TfL Quietway 7 route. A mail-out was sent to 4,000 addresses and 8 information and co-design workshops were held. Approximately 600 people attended the events. 2 online surveys were carried out (the first to gather issues and concerns, the second to review proposals).
October – November 2017 - responses to the previous consultation and updated proposals were published. Lambeth council invited comments from residents and stakeholders. These comments were used to inform further updates to proposals.
May - June 2018 - TfL reviewed the proposals for all Quietways in London. For Quietway 7, the review concluded that due to vehicle volumes on Rosendale Road, TfL would only fund a scheme which either reduced motor traffic by filtering Rosendale Road or provided separation between cycles and motor traffic.
November 2018 - development began on dedicated space for cycling, alongside other improvements to enable more walking/wheeling.
February - December 2019 - designs were developed for a two-way cycle track on the east side of Rosendale Road. Initial exploration found that a ‘bi-directional’ track would result in less parking loss than ’with-flow’ tracks (i.e. single direction on each side of the road).
January - February 2020 - Engagement took place on updated proposals for a ‘two-way’ cycle track’, as part of ‘the Brockwell Park to Gipsy Hill Healthy Route’. Overall, 70% of responders to the online survey were in favour of the proposals.
July 2021 – The engagement report was published – see PDF link below.
