Design work on six new cycle routes in London is to begin immediately.

The six routes, across nine London boroughs, have some of the highest potential for cycling, however they currently lack safe infrastructure.

Transport for London's (TfL's) Strategic Cycling Analysis identified the top 25 connections where new cycling infrastructure is required to enable more people to cycle. Further work between TfL and the boroughs has identified these six routes as the initial routes to take forward to the design stage. The routes will extend from Tottenham in the north, to Peckham in the south, and from Barking in the east, to Willesden Junction in the west, helping to create a pan-London network of high-quality cycle routes.

TfL and the boroughs will now begin design work on:

• Lea Bridge to Dalston

• Ilford to Barking Riverside

• Hackney to the Isle of Dogs

• Rotherhithe to Peckham

• Tottenham Hale to Camden

• Wembley to Willesden Junction.
