Cycle link to connect north and south of H&F

Work will be underway to create “new and improved” crossing points on Shepherds Bush Green, creating a direct cycle link from Shepherds Bush tube station to the south of the borough. Working with TfL, the 14-week project hopes to improve walking and cycling around Shepherds Bush Green.

The crossing points promise to “help manage crowds more safely,” making it “safer and easier to navigate the area for the millions of people who visit the Westfield shopping centre,” and the White City Innovation District every year.

“We’re improving the area around Shepherds Bush Green to help make H&F the best place to live, work and socialise,” Cllr Florian Chevoppe-Verdier, Cabinet Member for Public Realm, said . “Millions of people visit Westfield and our White City Innovation District every year. That’s why we’re working with Imperial College London to help clean our toxic air and create healthier ways to get around the borough.”

This is part of Hammersmith & Fulham’s plan to improve its air quality and “help local people make healthier transport choices across the borough.” Aside from new cycle link, there will also be a new pedestrian crossing east of Shepherds Bush Green, as well as safety upgrades to the Rockley Road crossing, including wider pavements and better street lighting.

The improvements will create a new cycle link that connects Shepherds Bush tube station directly to Rockley Road via Shepherds Bush Green. “It will give families and commuters a safe, direct way to cycle between north and south of the borough,” the council says, “something that’s been missing until now.”

Right turns from Uxbridge Road onto Shepherds Bush Green will be temporarily paused from Monday 30 June to Sunday 3 August. Diversion routes are in place via Holland Park Roundabout. Rockley Road will be temporarily closed from Monday 18 August to Monday 15 September. Clear diversions for residents and deliveries to West12 shopping centre will run via Shepherds Bush Road and Minford Gardens. All local shops and businesses stay accessible throughout, with temporary traffic lights managing traffic and pedestrians safely during works.
