2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results
Lambeth remains 6th overall this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score almost unchanged, at 6.04 out of 10. The borough continues to perform strongly by Inner London standards, but useful progress on LTNs was offset by weaker movement elsewhere.
The clearest positive change is traffic reduction. Lambeth added four new LTNs – Stockwell Gardens, Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, Kennington Oval and Voltaire Road – increasing LTN coverage from 34.6% to 37.5%. The borough also maintains near-complete 20mph coverage, strong bus priority at 44.2%, and substantial CPZ coverage at 72.8%, although this still leaves it behind the strongest Inner London boroughs. Outcomes remain relatively strong too: sustainable modeshare rose to 82.0%, more than 40% of adults walk regularly, and cycling participation increased to 23.6%.
One gap in performance is School Streets. Four schemes have been removed from our total because they are not enforced, reducing recorded coverage from 47.5% to 45.7%. Travel for Life participation improved strongly, from 13.0% to 26.2%, but protected cycle track coverage remains modest at 3.6%. Lambeth remains a strong performer overall, but further progress depends on turning its good baseline into more complete delivery on enforced School Streets, protected cycling and controlled parking.
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.
