Please enjoy 82 seconds of freshly-opened Romford Road cycleway - now complete in both directions outside the Atherton Leisure Centre! And there's even more to come. Congratulations @NewhamLondon - one of the most dangerous streets in our borough is finally being made safe ❤️

🙌 At LCC, we believe cycling should be safe everywhere, and fun for everyone - but right now, in many parts of London, this is far from reality... 🗳️ Which is why, in 2026, we'll be pushing local election candidates to support cycle network expansion - and you can help by donating today: bit.ly/4rDZ1GJ

New Rotherhithe foot/cycle ferry finally in action… with a fare of £4.10(!) Plus: 🚫 no concessions/discounts 😱 Works out at TWENTY FIVE POUNDS(!) per mile 💸 Still more expensive than even the peak time #SilvertownTunnel or #BlackwallTunnel toll This is unacceptably expensive.

⛴️ Orbit Clipper is here: a fully-electric, zero-emissions ferry across the Thames. Journeys are every 10 minutes from each side on weekdays, and every 15 minutes on weekends. Getting around South East London just got easier.
The Mayor of London stands beside the ferry captain inside the Orbit Clipper’s control room, looking out across the Thames with navigation screens glowing around them.

Work begins on phase 6 of #RoyalDocksCorridor, a Brucie bonus that will finally connect City Hall & housing in the area to the Cycleway network, and fix the awful wait times for pedestrians crossing to the DLR. 🎉 @rokhsanafiaz @Plaistovian @NewhamLondon newham.gov.uk/transport-stre…

The closure by @thameswater of @TfL Cycleway 2 on Stratford High Street (and even more of the #Greenway) this week is shockingly dangerous. We have written to them to demand it is fixed before children return to school in September. newhamcyclists.uk/letter-to-…
