In the City of London, virtually every one way street is two-way for cycling.
And we think it should be the same in Richmond. The addition of one-way cycling in Holly Road in Twickenham has demonstrated that we can do this in our borough, so we’ve put together a list of the roads where we think the council can implement this quickly and inexpensively.
You can see the details on this Cyclescape page, assembled by Richmond Cycling members – full of simple suggestions like “Can we cycle both ways round Richmond Green?”
The streets we’ve identified so far are:
- Somerton Avenue @ Clifford
- South Worple Way East End
- Kingsway
- Richmond Hill
- Ormond Road
- Paradise Road
- George Street
- Eton Street
- Richmond Green
- Grove Road
- Park Road
- Glebe Way
- 1st Cross Road
- Kew Station Approach
- Wiggins Lane Ham
- The Vineyard
- Cumberland Road
- Leybourne Park
- Priests Bridge
17 June update
We’ve asked the council about these, and also added the following:
- Clarence Street in Richmond.
- Portland Terrace (and Richmond Green generally)
- Quadrant Road / Duke St
- King Street, Richmond
- Nightingale Lane, Richmond
