Cycling in Camden
Camden Cycle Journey Planner
Welcome to the CycleStreets cycle Journey Planner for Camden.
This is a development of the one that's been running in Cambridge for two years. The system not only offers you direct or quiet route options but will also show photos taken along the route - different depending on which direction you plan to travel.
The mapping is based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) which is a relatively new idea - a database of very detailed geographic data that was created by a community of volunteers and to which anyone can contribute. Camden is already quite thoroughly mapped on OSM, but you may be able to spot some missing links, especially where they are cycle or pedestrian-specific.
YOU can improve the OSM maps by adding to OpenStreetMap or giving direct feedback to the CycleStreets website's developers. At present CycleStreets doesn't take hills (or cobbles) into account. Improvements to deal with this known limitation in the Beta release will be in place soon.
At present there are not many photos on Camden. CycleStreets.net (see Cambridge.CycleStreets.net for inspiration). Please help by uploading yours. It will soon be possible to add videos as well.
One feature we hope that you will find useful - every time a route is planned it is given a unique URL (the link at the top of your browser, starting http:// ...). This can be used by you in future or sent to a friend who (for instance) is thinking of cycling to work but doesn't know the best route. It is also possible to view planned routes on mobile phones that have internet access.
A browsable London Cycle Map
Maps.camdencyclists.org.uk is a separate development by the Camden Cycling Campaign that offers a browsable library of London routes and cycling resources. It shows the London Cycle Network and other recommended cycle routes over a variety of different types of map (Google Map, Satellite, Terrain; OSM and OSM Cycle) with pop-up summary information on each route as well as cycle shops, cycle parking, hazards and more.
Google Streetview is included so you can pop-up movable views of the streets and the mapped features. A simple interface to the CycleStreets Journey Planner is included, so you can create and see CycleStreets journey plans directly on maps.camdencyclists.org.uk.

Arrived at Kings Cross this evening to find this, which made my blood boil, all that money spent on a special separated lane for taxi drivers and they don't use it! #HappyValentinesDay https://t.co/A8C5DhuOvs [Click on Nearby Photos ... [more]
The food market is clearly more important than Dutch-style ranks of cycle parking. Maybe they're right.
Strange semi-Dutch cycleway but with a cycle symbol on the carriageway, which is where most cyclists ride.
Hi @CamdenCouncil is it possible to arrange a meeting with the person that signed off screwing this bollard in the cycle lane. Would really love to talk through the benefit and the thought process to get there. Thanks @camdencyclists @Ranty ... [more]
There's a raised section of road but no other help for people wanting to cross Guilford Street here.
Sudden end of cycleway - this obstruction has been here for so long that it's visible on the satellite imagery.
Long queue of taxis for the Kings Cross/St Pancras rank - and No Motorised Vehicles sign ('except taxis' plaque missing?)
New cycle-only layout of Judd Street at the British Library crossroads. Also cycle parking - two Sheffield stands to the left.
OSM/OCM show Judd St as closed to motor traffic at Euston Road, which is not (usually) the case - anyway it's good that they kept a cycle lane open during roadworks.
Cycle lane to nowhere - is it for people returning Santander bikes, or dismounting to reach Euston station?
Not all loading is essential*. Clerkenwell Rd needs kerb-protected bike tracks. Paint doesn’t work. *(London officially has the tastiest tap water in the world). https://t.co/xChTttRZEA
Cyclists Dismount? Why, when the traffic is semi-stationary (and you can zip past inside the cones anyway) ?
I see from my diversionary route this morning that CS6, open for [checks notes] 8 weeks, is holding up about as well as can be expected in these parts... https://t.co/V1qLJhX0Gi
