Cross Camden Cycleway engagement

Dates: Closes 6th January 2026; Reply to: safetravel@camden.gov.uk; CCC member dealing with it Jean Dollimore.


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). A full public consultation will follow in 2026.

CCC Response

To include the following:

Introduction to enthuse about the cycle route and follow up to include the following points:

  1. Albert Terrace:
    • Contraflow cycling on Albert Terrace.
    • Safe junction at Prince Albert Road protecting left and right turns into and out of the junction
  2. 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)
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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 crossing as at Market Road?
  6. Delancey Street:
    • Protected cycle lanes* with safe and easy access to and from the side road junctions
  7. Camden High Street junction:
    • Cyclists to be able to make all possible manoeuvres across the junction without risk of conflict with motor traffic
  8. Bayham Street:
    • Safe crossing in both directions
  9. Pratt Street from Camden St to Camden High Street:
    • Between Bayham and Camden High Street: protected cycle lanes* (this part of Pratt Street being one-way westbound);
    • Parallel crossing of Baynes Street

*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
