Bromley
2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results
Bromley remains in 29th place overall this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score almost unchanged, rising only from 2.00 to 2.01 out of 10. This is another case where the headline story is little visible progress on the practical changes needed to make streets safer and healthier: the borough recorded no increase in LTN coverage, 20mph roads, School Streets or bus priority.
Bromley’s weakest results remain some of the lowest in London. Only 4.9% of borough roads have 20mph limits, the lowest figure in the capital, and CPZ coverage is just 10%. Bus priority remains extremely limited at 2.4%, and Bromley still has only three School Streets, covering 2.7% of schools. Protected cycle track coverage rose slightly from 0.6% to 0.8%, but this reflects legacy tracks that were missed in previous years rather than new delivery. On a positive note, Bromley has the highest Travel for Life score in London, at 71.7%
The proportion of adults walking and cycling regularly has improved, but sustainable modeshare remains below 50%, car ownership is still very high, and fewer than 30% of households are car-free.
The Healthy Streets Scorecard combines scores for ten indicators to create an overall Healthy Streets score for each borough. See the graph below for 2026 results (includes 2019–2025 results for comparison). For more detail visit the London-wide overview of the 2026 results. You can also:

Scorecard (factored score) chart explained
In the chart above, each borough has been given a factored score. Factor scores are composite variables which provide information about a borough’s placement on a scale. Factor scores are given by F=XB, where X is the indicator normalised score for a borough and B is the factor score coefficient (or weight). Each indicator is weighted as 1, or 0.5 if there are two parts to one indicator, for example Modeshare has a weighting of 1, Active travel – walking has a weighting of 0.5 and Active travel – cycling has a weighting of 0.5. The borough’s total factored score is the sum of all indicator factored scores which is then factored to 10 (multiplied by the number of indicators/10) to give a value on the scale between zero and 10. We can then compare boroughs against each other on the scale.
