London Cycle Network

Cyclist with mask The London Cycle Network (LCN+) will provide 900km of safer, faster cycle routes through the Capital. It's due to be finished by 2010 and is one of our major investments.

LCN+ is London's primary cycle network on routes which have been identified as having the highest demand for cycling. When fully upgraded the network will provide safer and more comfortable conditions for cycling with improved journey times and clear links through junctions.

Cycling is becoming more and more popular in London, with an 83% increase since 2000. LCN+ is being designed to encourage even more people to cycle while also improving conditions for existing cyclists.

Implementation plan

The Cycle Route Implementation and Stakeholder Plan (CRISP) process is being used to work out the facilities and traffic management measures necessary for good cycling conditions on LCN+ routes.

Design

Best practice design principles will be applied during the design process on LCN+ routes. This will ensure that the whole street layout is taken into account when providing good conditions for cycling in London.
