The other thing that's making cycling even more enjoyable is the fact that apps are starting to recommend the cycling routes in your videos, which makes getting about so much easier. There were a few years where the routes existed but if using an app it would try to put you on a main road, but no longer!

This format and analysis of London's infrastructure is a perfect complement to your excellent regular channel. The other channel, by its very nature, allows you to only touch on the politics and implementation of schemes. Your montage of pictures of the areas you're discussing are in themselves able to impart a sense of being in London, and the challenges and/or resolutions of them. Excellent as always.
Thanks for this great overview! One planned new segregated lane not mentioned is Tottenham Lane in Harringay. It's a short section on a hill where cars usually speed so hopefully will make pedalling less terrifying there. Hopefully one day Harringay will pull their finger out and do more than just short segments like this.
Yes I definitely should have mentioned Tottenham lane in the ‘might happen next year but not sure really’ section - it would make sense if it was delivered but I haven’t seen any hard dates. Another missing small scheme I forgot to mention too. is Camden’s Crowndale Road lanes which I expect to be built this year and put Mornington Crescent on the cycle network
Ah sensible! I forgot the difference between 'running a consultation' and 'actually building it' 😅. I'm still waiting for the Crouch End traffic calming they consulted on like a decade ago 🙃
I grew up in London and now regularly visit relatives/friends there. I park as far north as possible and get the bike out of the back of the car and head into the centre. I've been doing this for a few years and am always impressed at the regular improvements to the cycling infrastructure. I cannot imagine using a car in inner London. Life's too short!
Thanks for all your hard work making these videos. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. P.S. loved your video summing up what's due to occur in 2025. Would be great if you could do the same again this time next year. Take care, Dave.
Thanks a lot, glad it's going down well - definitely will try and do another one for 2026 when the time comes! and thanks for the kind contribution, too
Really enjoyed this video, thank you for being so thorough with your research its great to have all the future plans compiled in one place. Lambeth do great work on LTNs but its a shame there's still no plans for proper segregated cycle tracks on any of the major roads, especially on Clapham Rd because that section of CS7 is terrible.
Yes I agree Lambeth need to up their game with cycle lanes. I’m hoping this year we may see some plans for Tulse Hill and Coldharbour Lane but I don’t think they’ll be implemented in 2025
Very excited to hear dalston’s getting some infrastructure put down next year. Moved in last year and was sad to have to dodge so much high speed traffic to get to London Fields.
You prompted me to look at the equivalent for the town I live in. There is a plan that seems to get sort of updated with incomplete or incoherent cycle routes to nearby places, or something that has already been installed for a number of years and is a part of a Sustrans NCR. As I live in a "new town" I found a blog from 2013 about the cycling infrastructure here and have to agree with a lot of it in that to go through roundabouts or other thorough roads/rail we have to descend into an underpass and then climb up the other side. I do my own videos and envy what you have in London even though it is not perfect by a long way, it is a lot better than what we have and with the new housing estates it is mostly shared paths or unprotected separate cycle or shared bus lanes on the roads.
Ah yes I’ve cycled in eg Bracknell which has a similar thing with some OK cycle paths but lots of underpasses etc which people don’t always like. Tbh those are better than nothing I reckon but as you say the new ways of sorting out stuff is just more appealing and pleasant
Fantastic video! I didn't appreciate how much cycling improved in 2020, having moved here in 2021. It makes so much more sense now why non-londoners who don't visit often are surprised to hear I cycle... They haven't seen the improvements. I'm really excited to see all this delivery in 2025.
I think this was a very interesting and useful video, and I say that as someone who doesn't live in, work in or even visit London! Its great to see what is happening and planned in the capital so we can compare it to the crumbs we usually get out here in the provinces. I'm still waiting for Warwickshire County Council to implement a scheme on the main road near me that was "imminent" back in 2020, but seems to slip constantly. Seeing similar schemes London councils and TfL implement is useful ammunition for prodding them!
Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting over the last year, it’s been appreciated! Definitely a lot of slippage here as well, but I guess one of the benefits of a big city is when someone slips there’s something else that might not have done so you still get something somewhere else!
So looking forward to all these new cycleways. Super stoked for the Streatham Hill cycleway, haven't been there for a while now but it really needs it as the high street goes on forever so it would be an excellent upgrade. Also I cycle to the office a few times a week from Lewisham to Victoria and I did notice a lot of roadworks happening around Lambeth Bridge but I didn't know they were installing cycle infrastructure and removing the southern roundabout- it definitely needs it big time.
Can’t wait for the route in the royal docks to reopen. Since they dug this up last year, along with the Silvertown tunnel work that’s made the route pretty terrible for a few years - it effectively cut us off from cycling anywhere - well I can but my wife doesn’t like it at all with all the works - as a result as a couple, we’ve lost over a years worth of cycling, previously we cycled everywhere.
That sounds very annoying - am hoping it’s worth the wait! I tried out the bits that are done last week and the section through Canning Town is really really good - rest getting there as well
Great video!! I do think that TfL and Sadiq Khan if not perfect, have definitely done a good job in showing how LTNs and bike infrastructure can be popular and beneficial to communities in London, despite what some very vocal opposition might say
Wonderful video - thank you. I share your concern re Westminster and Wandsworth (the two boroughs I ride in most) and it’s really disappointing the incumbent regimes haven’t made more progress, given I agree they’ll likely be turfed out.
A little upset nothing is happening in West London but glad to see there will be lots more cycling infrastructure overall. Moreover, I hope that we continue to see more cyclists on the roads which will lead to councils considering more infrastructure in the future. I do my best to promote cycling but it's difficult. Would you consider making a video that promoted cycling in general?
Outside of London in the likes of Watford and St Albans the cycle routes are basically blue signs around the town /city. One contra flow cycle lane in Watford on Ascot Road is full of parked cars despite double yellow lines. Although the ride through Cassiobury park is much improved. 👍 The Watford cycle loop won’t be fully complete until 2044 at the earliest. And They haven’t even started on a toucan crossing on Water lane. There is still no fully protected cycle route between Bushey and Watford. Hertsmere borough council are dragging their heels and only this year identified primary and secondary routes between the two towns for cycling and walking.
Yes I found even walking in st Albans outside the centre really difficult with limited crossings! Watford does at least have a decent traffic free cycle route through the centre but hard to get anywhere else
Wonderful stuff! No doubt a big impetus of this was the various elections in 2024. Susan Hall losing to Khan on an anti-LTN ticket meant the (probably illusory) fears of the earlier Uxbridge by-election meant that local boroughs and City Hall could feel confident doing all this. Good to see
Yeahhhh...I'm sounding like a broken record, and I'm a born London emigrée, and although having visited and work sojourns over the decades back in London, it's never drawn me back as much as watching these London cycle routes vids. London is becoming very inviting, other issues besides. (Cost and availability of housing). But since some cities around the world are actually going backwards on cycling infrastructure (Google: Ford Toronto tear out bike lanes) (or "I Can’t Believe I Have to Make This Video" at this site) the impetus to retire in London grows ever greater.
@@Londoncycleroutes Thanks for the invite, but unless my health and income improves drastically, it's unlikely. And I would have an issue with cycling on the wrong side of the road.
Should also have added it's so sad to not hear many outer London boroughs getting mentionned. Come on Barnet, do try and catch up everyone else please!
Good question - these tend to be done on a borough by borough basis and in some cases it’s a lot… in others little. Maybe a subject for a future video!
Scary to see Reform climb so high, but that's entirely what I predicted in July 2024 when it was clear Labour wasn't going to really offer any real change...
So this year they did go live with their traffic schemes in east and west Greenwich - I was initially quite excited but they’re only peak time closures Monday to Friday so aren’t really proper LTNs. It’s a shame as the design is otherwise good and they would be great for enabling cycling etc but far fewer people will benefit. I can’t even really physically get down there for peak time to do videos during the closures and I’m not sure I would even want to as a cycle route should be safe all the time
@@Londoncycleroutes That's a shame and completely illogical anyway. If the roads can handle the LTN at their busiest they can handle it their quietest. I would argue that an LTN helps the road network but even ignoring that point...
@@miz4535 yes you're exactly right. it makes the politics harder too because if you change the road layout people will eventually get used to it and forget you could ever drive that way. but if you do timed closures they're always going to feel like an artificial imposition
