Old Bailey Neighbourhood proposed improvements
The plan below shows the proposals for the neighbourhood we are exploring. These will focus on:
Pedestrian priority: giving people walking the priority and improving their safety.

We will improve the priority, comfort and safety of people walking in the neighbourhood. We will explore opportunities to:
- Restrict some motor vehicle on Old Bailey, south of the junction with Limeburner Lane during the morning, lunchtime and evening peak times.
- Access would be maintained for emergency vehicles, local access to the Central Criminal Court, the City of London Coroners Court and local businesses, access for taxis drop-off/pick-up’s and bicycles
- Raise the carriageway to pavement level on Limeburner Lane at the junction with Fleet Place.
- Improve where people cross on Ludgate Hill between Pageantmaster Court and Old Bailey.
- Introduce more trees, planting, seating and Legible London signs and maps where possible on Old Bailey.
- Reallocating carriageway to widened pavements where possible, on Ludgate Hill and on Old Bailey south of Limeburner Lane.
