Holland Park Roundabout

Proposals

We propose to provide a new high-quality Cycleway and improvements for pedestrians. The changes would make streets in the area safer and more pleasant by enabling people to walk and cycle more and drive less.

Please watch the video below to see a fly through of the changes we are proposing:

The changes we would like to make include:

• New two-way protected cycle lane – From the eastern side of Shepherd’s Bush Green and along the southern side of Holland Park Roundabout connecting to Holland Park Avenue. There will be separate low level cycle signals at junctions, new cycle crossings and better connections to other local cycle routes
• New section of priority bus lane - This is on the southside of Shepherd’s Bush Green
• Improvement to the existing toucan crossing - This crossing outside Shepherd’s Bush station across Uxbridge Road and Shepherd’s Bush Green will be, widened, and realigned making it easier to cross
• Sustainable drainage and Greening – We will add more trees and planting where space allows

Why?

We held a consultation about our plans to make it easier to walk and cycle between Shepherd’s Bush Green and Holland Park Roundabout in May 2019. A copy of our Consultation Report is available to download. As a result of the feedback we received to the 2019 consultation, we have updated the proposals. We’d like to know your thoughts about the effects our proposals might have.

Holland Park Roundabout is a high priority location for safety improvements, as part of the Mayor’s Safer Junction Programme.

Our monitoring shows that there have been a significant number of collisions at the roundabout: in the three-year period up to May 2023 there have been 54 collisions in total, in which 59 people were hurt including 14 cyclists and pedestrians, six of them seriously

We’ll continue to work closely with London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) to support their long term-vision to transform Shepherd's Bush Green and Uxbridge Road.

How it impacts you

Improvements for cyclists and pedestrians

• A new two-way protected cycle lane from the eastern side of Shepherd’s Bush Green and along the southern side of Holland Park Roundabout connecting to Holland Park Avenue, with separate low level cycle signals at junctions, new cycle crossings and better connections to local cycle routes
• Between Shepherd’s Bush Green and Holland Park Roundabout the two-way protected cycle lane will be in the middle of the road within the central traffic islands. At junctions, cyclists will get their own green traffic signals whilst general traffic is held on a red traffic signal
• The new signal-controlled cycle crossings will allow cyclists to safely cross between the new two-way cycle track on Holland Park Roundabout and Uxbridge Road, Holland Park Avenue, and Holland Road. The locations of the new crossings are marked on the maps we have also published
• The existing toucan crossing outside Shepherd’s Bush station across Uxbridge Road and Shepherd’s Bush Green will be, widened, and realigned making it easier to cross

• We will widen the footway in front of the W12 shopping centre to give more space for pedestrians at the toucan crossing
• The existing shared use crossing island on Holland Park Avenue will be widened to give cyclists and pedestrians more space
• We have reviewed cycle parking along the Cycleway and have proposed to increase this where possible. Again, we have marked on the maps we have published where we have proposed additional cycle parking
• The changes will connect into Cycleway 34 to the west across Shepherd’s Bush Green to Wood Lane, and to Cycleway 39 to Kensington High Street. On Holland Park Avenue, cyclists can rejoin the carriageway in Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea after the crossing. We are also working with London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF) on a proposed Cycleway between Shepherd’s Bush and Hammersmith making cycling journeys to neighbouring areas easier

• Other changes to allow us to make these improvements include removing the offside ‘flare’ lane on the southern arm of Holland Park Roundabout, and reducing the westbound approach to the roundabout on Holland Park Avenue from three to two traffic lanes
• To provide the protected two-way cycle lane between Shepherd’s Bush Green and Holland Park Roundabout and a priority bus lane for buses turning right from Ariel Way, we will remove one westbound traffic lane on Shepherd’s Bush Green
• Introduce a new 45 metres section of priority bus lane on the westbound side of Shepherd’s Bush Green
• Sustainable drainage and greening – we will add more trees and planting where space allows to provide more shade and reduce local flooding. We have indicated on the maps where the new trees and other planting will be provided

Next steps

Update 19 July 2024

Today we have published our consultation report which explains the outcome of the consultation. We received 2,090 responses to the consultation and would like to thank everyone who took part.

Taking on board all feedback received and taking into account the safety case for the proposals, we have concluded that we will progress the scheme as we originally proposed.

However, to progress this to construction we need to complete the following steps:

• Summer / Autumn 2024 - undertake further surveys and assessments of the roundabout, to finalise the designs for the scheme
• Autumn 2024 – share the updated designs with the borough, community stakeholder groups and residents to ensure they understand what the final design will look like. We will do this on our engagement website page for the project and at community engagement events
• Autumn / Winter 2024 - As the local highway authority, the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham are required to approve the final scheme design
• Early 2025 – If the scheme is approved by London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, then we will issue the contract for the detailed design and construction work
• Spring / Summer 2025 – Community engagement takes place ahead of construction work commencing
