Camden is asking for ideas related to their proposed two-way east-west cycle route between Primrose Hill and Camden Town. This is to be part of the Cross-Camden-Cycleway (CCC) and would link to Westminster’s proposed route from Regent’s Park to Maida Vale (consultation closes on 14th January 2026) and to the existing C6 and C50 routes in Camden. A full public consultation will follow in 2026.
East-west cycle routes in this part of Camden are very poor and this scheme is key to fixing that, along with another proposed scheme north of Camden Market.
| Project | Proposals | |
| 1 | Albert Terrace | Pedestrian and bus stop improvements |
| 2 | St Marks Square | Reduce cut-throughs, improve look and feel, safer crossing for peds and cycles |
| 3 | Prince Albert Road (Camden section) | Protect cyclists from motor traffic Improved crossings for people walking and wheeling |
| 4 | Gloucester Gate (spans Parkway junctions at Delancey and Prince Albert Road); | Improve junction for walking cycling and possibly buses. Warning: Camden refers to this as one junction. |
| 5 | Delancey junctions with Albert Street, Arlington Road, Mornington Terrace | Improve safety for walking, cycling including crossings |
| 6 | Delancey Street | Making changes to protect people cycling from motor traffic |
| 7 | Camden High Street junction | Improving the Camden High Street and Pratt Street/Delancey Street junction to protect people cycling through the junction |
| 8 | Bayham Street | Bus journey times; safe crossings for walking and cycling |
| 9 | Pratt Street from Camden St to Camden High Street | Protect cyclists from motor traffic; easier to cross the road |
Commonplace Engagement
CCC Response
To include the following:
Introduction to enthuse about the cycle route and follow up to include the following points:
- Albert Terrace:
- Contraflow cycling on Albert Terrace.
- Safe junction at Prince Albert Road protecting left and right turns into and out of the junction
- St Marks Square:
- Contraflow cycling on St Marks Square
- Safe junction at Prince Albert Road protecting left and right turns into and out of the junction and also considering access to St Marks Bridge (on foot)
- Prince Albert Road (Camden section)
- High quality cycle lanes and safe junctions (see Albert Terrace and St Marks Square above);
- Consider access to the canal towpath.
- The junction at Parkway must provide protection for cycle movements in both directions into and out of Albany Street and Parkway
- Gloucester Gate (spans Parkway junctions at Delancey and Prince Albert Road):
- Two junctions require high-quality designs:
- Parkway/Gloucester Ave/Delancey Street and
- Parkway/Prince Albert Road/Albany Street
- The Albany Street arm must be included in these improvements
- Two junctions require high-quality designs:
- Delancey junctions with Albert Street, Arlington Road, Mornington Terrace:
- Albert Street: 2-way cycling up to Parkway.
- Mornington Terrace: 2-way cycling down to Mornington Street.
- Arlington Road and Albert Street junctions: we need a solution for 4-way unsignalised junctions using parallel crossings
- Mornington Terrace: use parallel crossings as at Market Road? i.e one crossing over Delancey west of the jucntion and one over Morninton Terrace with a short section of two way cycle tracj round the corner between the crossings
- Delancey Street:
- Protected cycle lanes* with safe and easy access to and from the side road junctions
- Camden High Street junction:
- Cyclists to be able to make all possible manoeuvres across the junction without risk of conflict with motor traffic
- Bayham Street:
- Safe crossing in both directions e.g. assuming
- Pratt Street from Camden St to Camden High Street:
- Between Bayham and Camden High Street: protected cycle lanes on both directions* (this part of Pratt Street is one-way westbound);
- Parallel crossings of Baynes Street and Pratt Street at Baynes junction would work well with a 2-way cycle track on the north side to east of Baynes Street. Need two-way cycle lanes round the corner between the two crossings,.
- Assume that Pratt Street east of Bayham Street is low-traffic
- Junction at Camden Street has signals. Any issues?
*We have seen earlier designs with a 2-way cycle track on the north side of Delancey Street and going as far as Bayham Street. We would not object to such an arrangement
Note: the context map shows the eastern end of the proposed route meeting Cycleway C50 at St Pancras Way. Unfortunately this doesn’t work northbound as the contraflow lane runs only from Georgiana Street.
