Improving transport
Southern roundabout
In partnership with Transport for London (TfL) we have agreed a new design for a T-junction to replace the southern roundabout at the junction of Walworth Road and Newington Butts. The £2.8m scheme commenced in 2010 and was completed in April 2011.
Pedestrian subways will also be removed. Work commenced in 2010 and the scheme is due to complete in April 2011.
These works have delivered significant improvements both for pedestrians, who can now cross the roads at surface level, and for cyclists who now benefit from new cycle lanes and advanced stop lanes at junctions.
The London Cycle Hire scheme has also been introduced at the Southern Junction.
How transport will change
Lend Lease, Southwark Council and Transport for London are working together to agree wider improvements to transport at the Elephant and Castle.
These include considering ways to achieve
- Major capacity improvements to the Northern Line ticket hall at Elephant and Castle Underground Station
- Additional cycling and walking facilities throughout the area
- Increased bus priority measures and interchange facilities
- Further road and public realm improvements to the northern roundabout
