A "Safe London Cycling" map

Helping Londoners cycle through London safely through providing up-to-date maps

Mapping the safest routes across London

One of the few positives of 2020 was a recognition of the importance of safe cycling and how this infrastructure will be critical to helping Londoners travel during the COVID-19 crisis and the recovery from it.

But one of the questions that keeps coming back to us from new cyclists is how to work out where there are safe and comfortable cycling routes.

We’ve worked with LCC volunteer Aydin Crouch (@SafeCycleLDN) to show the entire London safe cycling network visually on a map for the first time, so you can safely and easily plan routes to get around.

The Safe cycling in London map

There is lots of safe cycling in London – on quiet roads within the Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, in parks, on shared paths and on some sections of old London Cycle Network route as well as on the TfL Cycleways.

But we know in London that wayfinding desperately needs work, that current routing apps are poor, and TfL’s map shows only the recently signed Cycleway routes.

Aydin’s Safe Cycling in London map shows anything that has ever been considered a route, even if there was no infrastructure  or signage is poor (or was never there in the first place. We think a lot of people might find it useful.

You can also use the map to see new LTNs and new, or upgraded, cycleways that were delivered just in 2020. This is years, possibly decades, of progress in months, and we hope to see this progress continue in years to come.
