GLA Letter Template (By email) Our Ref: MGLA100321-7969 19 March 2021 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the Greater London Authority (GLA) received on 10 March 2021. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please find below the information we hold within the scope of your request Where the ‘260km of high-quality, safer cycle routes’ that have been delivered under Mayor Khan’s first term are, in the form of street names, destinations or cycleway designations where appropriate (e.g. CS4, etc.)? The 260km of cycle routes have been delivered under the Mayor’s Healthy Streets Programme as part of the projects listed in Table 1 below. These have been jointly delivered by Transport for London (TfL) and the London boroughs and take the form of Cycleways, Mini Hollands and other Healthy Streets schemes such as town centre improvements, Safer Junctions or Transformational schemes. Which of these are considered protected routes? In February 2020, the Mayor announced that he had met his election pledge to triple the amount of protected cycling space in London, going from 50 kilometres in 2016 to 162 kilometres in 2020. Further details are provided here: https://www.london.gov.uk/press- releases/mayoral/mayor-triples-protected-cycle-space-in-london. A breakdown by scheme is included in Table 2 below. (To note, this calculation counts protection in both directions of a street.) More than 100km of new or upgraded cycle routes have been delivered or are under construction since the start of the pandemic. This comprises a mixture of fully protected routes, semi-segregation and routes on quiet back streets. (To note, this calculation counts routes in just one direction of a street.) This means that the Mayor has delivered 260km of high-quality safe cycle routes during his term. Because of changes to delivery mechanisms during the pandemic, and because these are temporary schemes, TfL has not tracked the exact lengths of protected space in the same way. Substantial sections of segregation have been built as part of the upgrades to Cycle Superhighways 7 and 8, on Park Lane and Hampstead Road, between Greenwich and Woolwich, along Cycleway 9, and on a wide number of borough schemes including Green Lanes in Hackney, Uxbridge Road in Ealing, Kew Road in Richmond and Liverpool Road in Islington. A significant proportion of the 100km of new routes delivered since March 2020 include protection, and many more improvements have been delivered through the hundreds of kms of streets made quieter through low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) schemes. For example, Quietway 2, an existing route, has been much improved through a combination of Islington’s Canonbury East and St Peters LTNs, and Hackney’s London Fields LTN, and has seen a substantial growth in cycling as a result. What are the protected routes that the mayor inherited? The previous administration completed 53km of protected space for cycling (counting routes in both directions), including sections of Cycle Superhighway 3 between Tower Hill and Parliament Square, sections of Cycleway 6 between Elephant and Castle and Blackfriars, the upgraded Cycle Superhighway 2, Cycle Superhighway 5 between Vauxhall and Pimlico, and short sections of protection on Cycle Superhighways 7 and 8, including at Oval. Which are the junctions that have been made safer referred to in the release? The 25 Safer Junctions referred to in the press release are set out in Table 3 below. If you have any further questions relating to this matter, please contact me, quoting the reference MGLA100321-7969. Yours sincerely Information Governance Officer If you are unhappy with the way the GLA has handled your request, you may complain using the GLA’s FOI complaints and internal review procedure, available at: https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/governance-and-spending/sharing-our- information/freedom-information Table 1: List of schemes opened between May 2016 and March 2021 which have collectively delivered over 260km of new or improved cycling infrastructure Table 2: Breakdown of protected cycle lane kilometres by scheme in London (up to 2020): Table 3: List of 25 Safer Junctions opened between May 2016 and March 2021 Table 1: List of schemes opened between May 2016 and March 2021 which have collectively delivered over 260km of new or improved cycling infrastructure Schemes opened May 2016 to March 2021 CSEW (Parliament Sq to Lancaster Gate) CS6 Phase 2 CSEW (North Carriage Drive) CS10 Section 1 (Acton to Wood Lane) Westminster Bridge South Highbury Corner Gower Street (WEP) Old Street Stratford Gyratory Hounslow Boston Manor Road Hayes Town Centre (Phase 1) Bexleyheath Town Centre Phase 2 A105 Green Lanes Enfield Playing Fields Greenway NW.4 Kingston to Surbiton - Avenue Elmers, Palace Road, Surbiton Crescent NW.4 Kingston to Surbiton - Maple Road / Claremont Road NW.6a St Marks Hill Connectivity NW.3 Portsmouth Road NW.3a Connectivity to Portsmouth Road Forest Road Cycle Route - A Forest Road Cycle Route - B Forest Road Cycle Route - C Forest Road Cycle Route - D Lea Bridge Road: Section A Lea Bridge Road: Section B Lea Bridge Road: Section C Lea Bridge Road: Junction 4 Leyton - Blackhorse Cycle Route: Section A Leyton - Blackhorse Cycle Route: Section B Leyton - Blackhorse Cycle Route: Section C LM.1 Kingston Station Plaza LM.4 New Malden to Raynes Park (The Cut) Lea Bridge Road: Section F Lea Bridge Road: Junction 1 Lea Bridge Road: Junction 2 Wheatfield Way Lea Bridge Road: Section D Lea Bridge Road: Section G Lea Bridge Road: Junction 3 Park Avenue Minor Works Wanstead Park Rd / Exeter Gardens TRUNDLEYS ROAD JUNCTION EDWARD STREET Old Woolwich Road-Lassell street Riverside/Lombard Wall Riverside/Anchor & Hope Aldersbrook Rd / Wanstead Park Ave Ellison Road / Colmer Road Silchester Road/Darfield Way Darfield Way/A40 underpass Brompton Cemetery/Old Brompton Rd to Bute St/Harrington Road Clapton Passage Wood Street/ London Wall junction - Linked to scheme 25121 Sun Street to Bishopsgate A41/Boundary Road Wandsworth Common Foot Bridge Acacia and Colmer Estate (Hermitage Walk) West Smithfield and Barbican Wood Street Resolution Walk path St Mark's Road/Lancaster Road Silchester Road WHISTON ROAD/GOLDSMITH'S ROW/PRITCHARD'S STREET JUNCTION - linked to scheme 24382 Willow Walk / Palmerston Rd NICOLSON ST/CHANCEL ST/DOLBEN ST (2.373) Wellesley Road Alma Terrace / Heathfield Road Cell Exhibition Road from Hyde Park to Imperial College / Princes Gate CORNWALL ROAD (Q1) CORNWALL ROAD NORTH (Q1) BLACK PRINCE ROAD/VAUXHALL WALK/NEWPORT STREET (Q5) Nevada St. Columbia Road - Calvert Avenue Portland Street Bayswater Rd/Kensington Palace Gdns to Kensington High St/Kensington Court Rail Bridge Underpass Latimer Road/North Pole Road/Bracewell Road West Parkside Crossing/Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Path Resurfacing at 3 locations Greyhound Lane junction Sydenham Road Queensbridge Rd.

  • Queen Elizabeth Hospital SE18 4QH Common and Park Do These Walks to Help Meet Your Daily Walking Target and Improve Your Wellbeing
    Wellbeing at Work Queen Elizabeth Hospital SE18 4QH Common and Park Do these walks to help meet your daily walking target and improve your wellbeing LOCAL AREA The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is almost entirely surrounded by green space, though much of it is closed to the public (Ministry of Defence establishments) or fenced off (a cemetery and a sports ground just to the West of the hospital). However, Woolwich Common faces the main entrance and the varied Horn Fair Park is tucked away very close. Charlton Park and Mary Wilson Parks are also not far away. There are good opportunities for enjoyable lunchtime and after-work walks. In fact two of London’s great long distance walking routes, the Green Chain and the Capital Ring pass close to the Queen Elizabeth and you can have a taster on our walk. DESCRIPTION A pleasant walk around Woolwich Common and a visit to the varied Horn Fair Park with its sunken rose garden. The walk shares two short sections with both the Green Chain and the Capital Ring. Those seeking a shorter walk can choose to do either the Common or the Horn Fair Park halves of the walk, instead of both. The May trees are splendid on the Common in Spring, as are the roses in Horn Fair Park in June. Wear sensible footwear and choose a dry day for a walk on the Common. TOTAL DISTANCE 2.1 miles TIME 40 minutes PACES 4200 paces An alternative shorter route is offered (1.4 miles/26 minutes/2750 paces). Wellbeing at Work Queen Elizabeth Hospital SE18 4QH Common and Park 1 Start at the main entrance to Queen 3 Continue on for several hundred metres as the path swings Elizabeth Hospital: around to the right.

  • Brick Lane Born: Exhibition and Events
    November 2016 Brick Lane Born: Exhibition and Events Gilbert & George contemplate one of Raju's photographs at the launch of Brick Lane Born Our main exhibition, on show until 7 January is Brick Lane Born, a display of over forty photographs taken in the mid-1980s by Raju Vaidyanathan depicting his neighbourhood and friends in and around Brick Lane. After a feature on ITV London News, the exhibition launched with a bang on 20 October with over a hundred visitors including Gilbert and George (pictured), a lively discussion and an amazing joyous atmosphere. Comments in the Visitors Book so far read: "Fascinating and absorbing. Raju's words and pictures are brilliant. Thank you." "Excellent photos and a story very similar to that of Vivian Maier." "What a fascinating and very special exhibition. The sharpness and range of photographs is impressive and I am delighted to be here." "What a brilliant historical testimony to a Brick Lane no longer in existence. Beautiful." "Just caught this on TV last night and spent over an hour going through it. Excellent B&W photos." One launch attendee unexpectedly found a portrait of her late father in the exhibition and was overjoyed, not least because her children have never seen a photo of their grandfather during that period. Raju's photos and the wonderful stories told in his captions continue to evoke strong memories for people who remember the Spitalfields of the 1980s, as well as fascination in those who weren't there. An additional event has been added to the programme- see below for details.
