2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results
Hammersmith & Fulham slipped from 9th to 10th place this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score falling from 5.82 to 5.77 out of 10. It remains a strong Inner London borough on many outcome indicators, but its very weak School Street coverage is a serious gap.
The borough has complete 20mph coverage and high CPZ coverage, while bus priority is comparatively strong. Sustainable modeshare remains above 80%, more than 40% of adults walk regularly, and Hammersmith & Fulham is one of only three boroughs where more than a quarter of adults cycle at least once a week. There was also some progress on LTNs, with the Wormholt scheme added, although resident exemptions mean it is only partly counted under our criteria.
Against this, School Streets remain the borough’s clearest weakness. One scheme was removed, leaving just three School Streets covering 3.9% of schools, the lowest proportion in Inner London and one of the lowest in London. Protected cycle track coverage is also unchanged at 4.5%. Hammersmith & Fulham’s results show strong travel behaviour and good baseline conditions, but this now needs to be matched by serious progress on School Streets and protected cycling infrastructure.
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.
