** Scheme Update 11/02/22 **
We have decided to retain the London Bridge and Borough High Street schemes with a new Experimental Traffic Order – this new order will combine both schemes under a single Order. There will be a six-month public consultation on the new scheme, beginning potentially from early summer. Please refer to the 'documents' section of this page to read our full announcement of our decision.

In May 2020 we announced our plans to make changes to the London Bridge area, chiefly to Borough High Street and St Thomas Street, in order to make it easier for people to cycle, walk and use the bus.
This page provides you with information on what has happened so far with the scheme, and our plans, including for engagement and consultation. You can ask us a Question, respond to our Survey and register for scheme updates.
Why we made these changes
In May 2020 we delivered a number of temporary changes to London Bridge area as part of our emergency response to the coronavirus pandemic. As London continues to recover from the pandemic it will be more important than ever to support and encourage everyone who can to be more active. Active travel can make people healthier and happier, and it plays a part in managing and reducing congestion as well as improving our environment.
You can read the full details of changes we made in the Documents section.
What has happened so far
We have been monitoring the scheme since it was introduced. This includes the scheme’s effects on traffic flow, road safety and cycling and walking rates. We have also asked people for their views on the scheme. We are using this information to help inform what we do next.
Listening to you
Although we are not currently undertaking a formal consultation on this scheme, we would like to know about your experiences of it. If you have any comments about the effects of our scheme, or suggestions for changes or improvements we might make, please let us know at by completing the Survey, emailing us at haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk or using the Questions tool below.
In August 2021 we wrote to people to explain the next steps with many of the schemes we introduced as part of our response to the pandemic. We are now reviewing the schemes to decide what we’d like to retain.
If we decide to introduce the permanent scheme as originally planned, or retain the existing temporary scheme, we will consult with you.
