Our objectives
There were 9 serious pedestrians and cyclist casualties in the three years of 2019, 2020 and 2021 and one near fatal accident in early 2023
To overhaul the Tulse Hill Gyratory (THG) system to make it a safer and more pleasant town centre for local residents, visitors and traffic passing through.
To raise awareness from local residents and action groups. Hearing your stories is a vital part of this and we urge people to share their experiences for stronger community pressure. |
To engage TFL and help them understand the negative impact on the environment, local residents and businesses.
Ultimately we would like TFL to announce the THG project will advance to design stage with funding and a scheduled outcome by 2024. In addition we would like to prevent further casualties, enhance the pedestrian experience, improve air quality and public transport. |
What is the Tulse Hill Gyratory?
The Tulse Hill Gyratory is a traffic dominated environment at the junction of the A205 South Circular Road (Thurlow Park and Christchurch Road) where it meets the A215 Norwood Road and A214 Tulse Hill in the London Borough of Lambeth.
Given its location in close proximity to Tulse Hill Railway Station, local shops and buses, pedestrian and cyclist movement is high and risky, with recently recorded fatalities and numerous accidents including a resident of Deronda Road early in 2023. Whilst Lambeth Council has made strides in improving conditions for walking and cycling in local streets, the missing piece is the abysmal situation of Tulse Hill Gyratory. |
Issues and risks with TFL
It has been a long time since Transport for London announced their work on the gyratory. There is a serious risk that the initial project to overhaul the THG will be cancelled at the feasibility stage or that it will be shelved until TFL funding improves after very little revenues through COVID. The gyratory is part of the strategic roads network, strategic freight network, strategic bus network (12 bus routes) and strategic cycling network so in TfL terms there's a lot to consider. |
Community
Tulse Hill Station sees around 2.3m passengers annually, with 12 bus routes
using the gyratory, schools either side of the Station, bad air quality and flood risks.

CASUALTIESMost of the serious pedestrian casualties were on the zebra crossings, which are difficult to use given their position and flow of traffic
