The 2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard ranks London Boroughs on how healthy their streets are according to ten indicators (six input indicators and four outcome). By combining the indicator scores, each borough is given a final Healthy Streets score.

This page sets out detailed results for the input indicators:

1. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
2. 20mph Speed Limits
3. Controlled Parking Zones
4. Physically Protected Cycle Track
5. School Provision (A) School Streets (B) Travel for Life
6. Bus Priority

1. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods were added by Lambeth, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hackney, Camden and Islington. Lambeth added four new zones, Hackney added the Hackney Central bus gate, Islington installed the Mildmay scheme, new filters were added in Camden, and Hammersmith & Fulham installed the Wormholt scheme (which receives a lower score because residents are exempt). Lewisham records the biggest increase, but this mainly reflects better reporting of existing areas. Sadly, Croydon’s removal of six LTNs cancels out much of the gains in terms of the overall London figure, which only increases from 22.1% to 22.2%.

The graph below shows Inner and Outer London boroughs differentiated by colour (light blue = Inner London, dark blue = Outer London). This graph helps show how boroughs are doing compared to other Inner or Outer boroughs.

This map shows the polygons used to generate the LTN figures for 2025. This is a best efforts process based on data freely available to us at the time. It highlights the borough boundaries (coloured orange) and LTNs (historic, in place before March 2020 – coloured blue; and new, introduced after March 2020 – coloured purple).

2. 20mph Speed Limits

Greenwich, Haringey and six other boroughs increased coverage of 20mph speed limits. London-wide, 61.7% of borough-managed roads now have 20mph limits, up from 60.9% in 2025. TfL has also continued progress on the Red Route network, with 267km now at 20mph, up from just 35km in 2019. Nineteen boroughs now have 95% or more of borough-controlled roads covered by a 20mph limit, but Bromley, Hillingdon, Bexley and Havering remain below 10%. Research evidence from Wales and TfL on the safety benefits of 20mph limits shows why that needs to change.

3. Controlled Parking Zones

Controlled Parking was expanded in Barking & Dagenham and Haringey this year, plus smaller additions in five other boroughs. The standout performer this year is Barking & Dagenham, where six new CPZs lifted the borough from 47.5% to 56.3% coverage – the first Outer London borough to score over 50%. Haringey also made real progress, while Redbridge, Harrow, Waltham Forest, Enfield and Hounslow recorded smaller gains. In Inner London, there are low scores for CPZ coverage in Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth and Wandsworth, while several Outer London boroughs are still below 20%. Some changes reflect corrected reporting (like Barnet’s reduced score). Counting boroughs where we have two years of reliable data, London-wide controlled parking coverage rose slightly from 42.1% to 42.3%. CPZs are a key measure to reduce car trips, so this is a missed opportunity for far too many boroughs.

4. Physically Protected Cycle Track

Newham is the clear winner this year, with 6km of new protected cycle tracks including on Romford Road and Silvertown Way, and in Beckton, helped also by some legacy tracks being added to the map. The London-wide total increased only slightly this year, and comparison with last year is complicated by continuing work to audit and improve the mapping. Checks have been made on whether temporary Covid-era protection is still on the ground; corrections made in locations where protection ends at junctions or bus stops; and improvements made to labelling of one-way tracks. As a result, some boroughs which built new track also lost mapped length because older entries were removed or corrected. Southwark, City of London and Barnet all saw scores fall, mainly because wand-protected tracks had disappeared or previous mapping was inaccurate. The audit is improving the indicator, but it makes short-term movement harder to read.

5. School Provision

School Streets

Lewisham added 10 School Streets, Ealing 9 and Newham 8 (net). These accounted for more than half of all new delivery. 50 new schemes were delivered last year although the net gain is reduced to 33 for various reasons. London’s total is now 829 School Streets. School Streets continue to expand, with nearly 30% of London schools now covered. The pace has slowed, however, and progress is concentrated in a small group of boroughs. This year’s major methodology change is that School Streets must now be enforced in order to be counted. Schemes relying on signs alone, without cameras or physical barriers, are excluded because they are not proving effective. Overall, Lewisham leads on school coverage, rising to 66%, followed by Newham at 51% and Islington at 50%; Ealing, Hounslow and Merton lead Outer London. At the bottom, Bexley still has no School Streets, while Bromley and Hillingdon remain barely covered. A faster pace of delivery is needed to reach the London Mayor’s target of 1,000 school streets by 2030.

TfL Travel for Life

Travel for Life participation improved across most of London this year, with the average borough score rising from 30.5% to 35.4% and only three boroughs recording a fall. The strongest gains were in Harrow, Lewisham, Lambeth, Waltham Forest, Westminster and Hammersmith & Fulham, while Bromley and Waltham Forest now lead the indicator.

6. Bus Priority

Lewisham and Hackney reported the highest new additions, both adding more than 10km of bus priority. In total, eleven boroughs updated the Scorecard for this metric. Barking & Dagenham remains the highest-performing Outer London borough, with Hackney the highest in Inner London. City of London scores highest overall. No improvement has been documented this year by the lowest scoring boroughs Bexley, Bromley or Redbridge, or by the lowest scoring inner London borough, Kensington and Chelsea. We encourage these boroughs to prioritise action in this area. Greenwich’s score increased by just under 4% percentage points (30km!) but this was due to improved mapping, rather than wholly new delivery; this is still important and we are always pleased to incorporate improved data and encourage boroughs to review that our mapping reflects local bus priority.
