St Pancras Way - Cycle Hire Docking Station

Overview

We want our streets to have more safe space for everyone to walk and cycle, for children to get to and from school safely and healthily, for businesses to be able to flourish, to reduce carbon emissions from vehicles and for you to be breathing cleaner air.

We want our streets to provide a lasting legacy of greener, safer, healthier travel.

As 69% of households in Camden do not own a car and public transport use remains much lower than before the pandemic, we know that safe and easy walking, cycling and scooting routes are more important than ever. Supporting and encouraging those who are able to walk and cycle, by creating safer streets will ensure that there is more space available on public transport and on our roads for those who need it the most.

Many of our residents are excluded from cycling due to lack of access to a bike. To help ease those problems, we are continuing to work with Transport for London (TfL) to expand the existing network of Santander cycle hire docking stations in the Borough.

Policy 2c of our Transport Strategy demonstrates our commitment to “develop and implement a range of initiatives that promote and provide attractive, convenient, and safe alternatives to private cars and other forms of motor traffic.”

What are we consulting on?

We have secured funding towards a Santander cycle hire docking station from various developments in the Granary Street and St Pancras Way area. We are now consulting on our proposal to add a docking station with 22 docking points on St Pancras Way. The docking station would be located on the widened section of pavement by 11 St Pancras Way.

About the proposed Santander cycle hire docking station

Our Transport Strategy and Cycling Action Plan outline measures to support cycle hire options in the Borough to increase availability and access to bikes for residents and visitors. We continue to work together with TfL to expand TfL’s network of Santander cycle hire docking stations across the borough.

The proposed cycle hire docking station with 22 docking points would provide a sustainable and healthy alternative to motor vehicles and would assist in enabling more journeys to be undertaken by residents and visitors to the Borough by bike, contributing to the Cycling Action Plan cycle mode share targets to increase cycling.
