Camden High Street Will Be Permanently Pedestrianised
The move follows an 18-month trial and a public consultation in which 57% of respondents backed permanent restrictions.
- On Tuesday, October 27, Camden Council announced Camden High Street will be permanently pedestrianized following an 18-month trial, banning vehicles from the busy shopping destination.
- Following Oxford Street's recent pedestrianization on Monday, the council decided to make Camden Town's changes permanent to improve air quality and safety for residents and visitors.
- A summer consultation revealed 57 percent of respondents supported the plan, with 51 percent of local residents agreeing. NO2 levels dropped 14.4 per cent during the trial.
- Permanent barriers will replace temporary ones in early 2027, supported by a £1 million investment in Community Safety Officer patrols and a deep clean of the high street.
- The council is also testing a design to extend pedestrianization over Camden Lock Bridge toward Chalk Farm Road, while a trial bus lane on Kentish Town Road addresses transit concerns.
