Thames Street Transformed!

The historic area of the City leading to the River Thames was bombed during the war and severed by an urban dual carriageway. Thanks to lobbying by City Cyclists, there are now the first continental width cycle lanes in London and a cycle crossing to the Tower of London. Whether you want a speedy route to cycle across town on or a leisurely ride round the tourist attractions, it's time to check out the vibrant interface between the City and the Thames.

City Cyclists have won through their campaigning wider cycle lanes on Upper/Lower Thames Street. The first lanes in London of a continental width (2m) these keep large vehicles at a safe distance from cyclists.

City Cyclists have also won a commitment to a study to upgrade these lanes from advisory to mandatory status, enhanced access around the Monument and around Gt Tower St junction, transforming the area from one that only experienced cyclists could tackle to one which is improved for everyone.-
