You can cycle from Brixton in south London to Tulse Hill entirely on quiet streets and protected cycle lanes.
The route is 4km long (2.5 miles) and makes use of the Railton LTN and Streatham Hill LTN, as well as paths in Brockwell Park.
The journey takes 15 minutes to ride, which is quicker than the public transport options available.

@@Jason-Clark235 [What is a 75 year old doing with a Vr headset?] Cycling! I'm only a year younger, and although it's been two years since doing 100km trips (Covid and a major accident interrupted) I'm doing 50km ones to start (late season this year) I'll be doing 70-80km ones soon. It's time more than effort. And a good machine.

The improvement of the public realm on Railton should be the blueprint for every LTN and road quitening measure in London both existing and those to come. Amazing stuff!
@Londoncycleroutes
@Londoncycleroutes Год назад
Yeah it’s interesting because they do the public realm after the traffic calming trial, when they make the scheme permanent - it arguably creates more buy-in from residents so I wonder if there’s a case for doing it at the beginning of the scheme (the issue being it’s the expensive bit and not really doable as a trial)

Nice video! It's great to learn new ways to avoid the Tulse Hill gyratory because it is very cycle un-friendly and polluted.

Even though I'm Brit born and raised, and have lived back in London a couple of times since leaving is a kid, and I'm now culturally North American (Toronto) I used to cringe at memories of cycling in London, last time about a decade ago. But these vids have helped immeasurably at showing how London has changed incredibly in terms of being safer and more welcoming for cyclists. Plus the place is looking good, even if Blighty is on hard times in other ways. There's a real 'flow' to the way these routes are depicted. I'm actually missing London watching these.

I haven't done this in a while but instinctively, I would go via Rosendale road and Lovelace rd. There is definitely a cycle lane on rosendale and it's quiet all the way. Not quite arriving exactly at Tulse Hill station but not far off and avoids going up the Stockwell hilly bit.

I do Brixton to West Norwood at least once a day. If the park is shut i go along the start of Norwood rd then go left onto Rosendale all the way across the south circular then down through Idmiston/Chestnut into SE27. If the park is open i’d take the earlier exit from the one you took and same way up Rosedale. Actually all being well i’d enter the park at Water Lane after quickly leaving Railton via Rattray Rd etc, then go right over the top of the park and up Rosendale on exit. Anything to avoid Norwood Rd going south. If i was going to Tulse Hill i’d use Lovelace/Elmcourt off of Rosendale. There may be a route off Rosendale and through those allotments too but i still haven’t investigated that.

@andrewjohnson6535 Год назад
An alternative if you're entering Brockwell via Water Lane and going to Tulse Hill would be to keep right in the park and use the Tulse Hill exit into Leander Road via the toucan over Tulse Hill itself. Then left at Elm Park, right into Ostade Road, left into Upper Tulse Hill, right into Maplestead Rd, left around Holmewood Gardens into Cotherstone Road, then using the toucan across the South Circular into the Brixton Hill end of Palace Road, then straight on picking up Jon's route at the mini roundabout. The Upper Tulse Hill LTN is very quiet and Palace Road is filtered at the South Cricular end (and has an ancient gate about half way down too). By the way, does anyone know when work is to start on extending the cycle lane down Rosendale Road? Think the plans include a parallel crossing at Lovelace.
@andrewjohnson6535
@andrewjohnson6535 Год назад
Just to add, if your destination is West Norwood, then at the Palace Rd mini roundabout, you can turn right into Hillside Road, straight on through the mini pedestrianised bit into Mount Nod Road, then left at Leigham Court Road, left into Knollys Road, right at the mini roundabout, then a thrilling descent via Knollys Road and York Hill to Norwood Rd / Lancaster Avenue crossroads. I use this route quite a lot when I get bored of going up and down the Rosendale Road.
