Camden High Street's pedestrianisation trial starts in May
Briefly

Camden council is set to initiate an 18-month trial to pedestrianise a busy section of Camden High Street beginning May 3, 2025. This change aims to remove motor vehicles from a key stretch of the street, resulting in a significant increase in available space for pedestrians. With local consultations informing the decision, the trial will also include a celebratory street party on May 5, marking the beginning of this transformative effort to improve the urban environment and promote safer, more accessible public spaces for all.
Camden council has confirmed that an 18-month trial to pedestrianise Camden High Street will start on Saturday 3rd May 2025, enhancing pedestrian space by up to 50%.
The trial aims to ban all motor vehicles on a key section of Camden High Street, thereby facilitating a more pedestrian-friendly environment, expected to begin on May 3, 2025.
A street party on Monday, May 5, 2025, will commemorate the commencement of the pedestrianisation trial, with festivities to celebrate the new traffic-free space.
Motor vehicles will be banned 24/7 in this section, improving pedestrian access, while emergency services and some refuse collection vehicles will still be allowed access.
