We recently launched a petition asking for action from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and Transport for London (TfL) to make changes to the dangerous Tulse Hill Gyratory
The Tulse Hill Gyratory is broken. Every day, people walking, cycling, and driving through are put at risk by the outdated and unsafe 1960’s road design. Since 2010, hundreds of people have been injured or killed here, including the tragic deaths of two pedestrians and a motorcyclist. It’s one of South London’s most dangerous junctions—and nothing has fundamentally changed for over a decade.
Limited safety works have recently been delivered – but more needs to happen. Sadly, a further serious incident happened on the gyratory on 6th June. Proposals for a re-design were worked up by TfL in close cooperation with the local community – but the proposals did not progress given the prioritisation of other projects and TfL’s difficult financial position subsequently.
Residents, businesses and local groups are calling for changes to the one-way road system, with measures to be explored including the potential for two-way traffic working, safer crossings and other measures, better facilities for cyclists, bus users and those visiting to shop, improved public realm, and a better, more welcoming place for everyone.
We’re pleased that TfL recognise the issue and are therefore asking the Mayor of London and TfL to work positively and constructively together with the local community and the new group Transform Tulse Hill with the eventual aim of implementing changes, as has been done to most of the other gyratories that used to exist across London. We don’t want to see Tulse Hill being left behind, and more life-changing accidents happening.
Let’s transform Tulse Hill from a danger zone into a people-first gateway for South London that also works better for the many drivers who use it.
