Whitefriars Neighbourhood proposals:
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.
Public realm improvements: to make streets and spaces more attractive, comfortable and enjoyable to spend time.
Changes to kerbside parking and traffic movements: to enable greater pedestrian priority and public realm improvements.
Cycling improvements: to improve the comfort and safety for people cycling.
Changes to access into and out of the Whitefriars Neighbourhood
A sketch view of what Tudor Street could look like after proposed changes enable more space for people walking, trees and planting.
See more information about the proposed changes for each topic below by clicking on the plus sign and tell us how you feel about them.
We will improve the priority, comfort and safety of people walking in the neighbourhood. We will explore opportunities to:
- Raise the carriageway to pavement levels at junctions with side streets and at loading bay entrances.
- Improve where people cross on Tudor Street.
- Restrict motor vehicles travelling north on Dorset Rise and Salisbury Rise between the junctions with Hutton Street and Fleet Street.
We will improve the streets and spaces by making them more attractive, comfortable and enjoyable to spend time in. We will explore opportunities to:
- Widen the pavements on Tudor Street .
- Introduce more trees, planting, seating and Legible London signs and maps where possible; and improve paving.
- Introduce a small public space on Bridewell Place.

Changes to kerbside parking and some vehicle movements could allow greater pedestrian priority and public realm improvements. We will explore:
- One directional motor traffic on Tallis Street and Carmelite Street between Tallis Street and Tudor Street to enable kerbside parking to be relocated from other streets.
- Reducing kerbside parking in the area to enable greater pedestrian priority, wider pavements and more trees, planting and seating to be introduced.
We will improve the comfort and safety of people cycling. We will explore opportunities to:
- Introduce a new cycle contraflow on Dorset Rise and Salisbury Court.
- Improve the existing cycle contraflows on Bouverie and Whitecross Street
- Introduce additional cycle parking and dockless cycle and e-scooter hire bays.
- Access into the neighbourhood for motor vehicles is sufficient for businesses and residents in the area?
- That through traffic is a problem in the area and do you think restrictions should be introduced to reduce it?
At the southern end of Temple Avenue, a small public space could be created. Temple Avenue however may be required to enable direct vehicle access into the neighbourhood from the Victoria Embankment.
