The recently updated Safe Cycling in London map and articles like my one on the Central London Grid (bitly.ws/XtWF) are only possible with the kind donations of my followers If you like my work, please donate anything you can here: buymeacoffee.com/SafeCycleLDN

Work has started on Westbourne Terrace in @CityWestminster, the fourth project started by them in the last 6 months: - C43 (Hyde Pk-Marylebone) - C51 (Marylebone-St John’s Wood) - C63 (Cleveland St) Central London had a good 2025 and is set to have a good 2026 too!

The SafeCycleLDN Map has just reached 1.5 million views! Thanks to all my supporters, with a special shout out to @LukeAlsford, who‘s Metro article brought along many new people SafeCycleLDN Map: bit.ly/378amr0 If you’d like to support my work: buymeacoffee.com/SafeCycleLDN

Westminster's Bayswater Rd scheme would deliver a safer continuous cycling connection linking Cycleways 3 and 27, as well as providing a direct east–west route along the north side of Hyde Park. Last chance to have your say: cmsbayswaterroad.commonplace.is @CityWestminster

@willnorman @London_Cycling @CycleSistersUK @CityWestminster @lambeth_council @TfL Very happy that this was built, but you shouldn’t be thanking Tarmac Kier Joint Venture. They did a terrible job of making the cycle lanes smooth. In LB Camden, instead of thanking the tarmac company, they force them yo re-do it if it’s too bumpy!

Delighted to join @London_Cycling @CycleSistersUK @CityWestminster @lambeth_council and others to try out the excellent new cycle lanes on Lambeth Bridge - formally one of the most dangerous junctions in London. Massive thanks to the Tarmac Keir Joint Venture & @TfL.

Another central London street transformed with a filter and added gardens, preventing rat-running, noise, and danger. Chef’s kiss, London. Thank you, @CamdenCouncil, don't stop.

@IsSaddleThereIs @JohnJohnStewart Both an example of TfL claiming backstreet signage is ‘built cycle lane’ and a clearly politically-motivated and/or poorly researched article

@JohnJohnStewart Much of those so called "cycle lanes" look like these on the #Cycleway1 route. So I'd take that finding with a very large bucket full of salt if I were you.

More bike lanes than bus lanes in London as TfL accused of being 'pro-cyclist' by London Assembly members. The number of cycle lanes has grown to 400km+. Only 30km of new bus lanes have been opened in the last 3 yrs & have been axed leaving the 300km standard.co.uk/news/transport…

The Court of Appeal's judgement stopping Tower Hamlets from ripping out safety infrastructure is good news for Londoners. It's good for road safety & reducing danger. It's good for air quality, good for health, and good for communities across the capital. standard.co.uk/news/london/lo…

I made it into the Metro! metro.co.uk/2026/01/15/i-s…

Nice to see works on the Clerkenwell Road cycle lanes begin. Well done @CamdenCouncil!!

@PolitlcsUK Clearly poorly researched, because as much as @RBKC do nothing to make walking or cycling safe, their roads are some of the best paved in London! Never seen a serious pot hole cycling through there 5 times a week for a year and a half. Very strange

🚨 NEW: The Government has rated councils in England red, amber or green based on how well they're fixing potholes using Government funding

I should add that this was all on Cycleway 57 (Barnes-Hammersmith). @TfL why wasn’t this cycleway gritted last night? Also does this mean that its not policy to grit designated TfL cycleways in this weather? This surely puts Londoners in massive danger!

Be careful Londoners. The roads seem more icy today than they did on Monday or Tuesday. I’ve seen about 10 falls since I left home 15 mins ago. Cycle slowly, look out for black ice and try and use roads that have been gritted!

@joncstone @MatthewMarks42 Thanks for pointing that out. Will make sure I add it soon

@MatthewMarks42 @SafeCycleLDN probably a good one to add (one reason I like the map is because it's selective but that's a decent one as mostly filtered)

Over the last few months I've done a massive update to the Safe Cycling in London Map (now called the SafeCycleLDN Map): bit.ly/378amr0 Thank you to @joncstone, Stephen Biggins and my many other followers for your wonderful suggestions

@RuthMayorcas @joncstone Sorry about that. Here’s a direct link: google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…

@joncstone @SafeCycleLDN Thank you I did and it asked for my bank account details. 🤔

From its creation (over five years ago) it's really made amazing progress and hopefully over the next five years, will continue to help Londoners find safe ways to get across our amazing city

Read my 2025 New Infrastructure Review, where I look at the last year of cycleway and healthy streets delivery in London:  safecycleldn.com/2026/01/02/202…

Watch Jon’s brilliant video showing what new infrastructure London has in store for 2026, with SafeCycleLDN maps being used too illustrate his brilliant findings!

Westminster Council is consulting on new protected cycle lanes on Bayswater Road. looks like a high quality scheme, though sadly stops at the border of Kensington and Chelsea, the world's worst local authority, which refused to cooperate with its neighbour cmsbayswaterroad.commonplace.is

@CargodadC @willnorman @maxpsullivan Great to see a new safe crossing, but TfL’s contractor is terrible when it comes to bike lane surfaces. Why are the car lanes so smooth in comparison? Its the same on Lambeth Bridge sadly. LB Camden makes them go back and resurface the whole thing if it turns out like this

New cycle and pedestrian crossing on Hamilton Terrace just opened! Hamilton Terrace cycle lane hopefully coming soon. Thanks @willnorman @maxpsullivan
