LCC launches new map of London’s most dangerous junctions

London Cycling Campaign (LCC) is highlighting inaction at ten deadly junctions as it launches a new map of London’s most dangerous junctions during Brake’s Road Safety Week 2025.

Updating its Dangerous Junctions mapping – highlighting across London and by borough the most dangerous junctions for cycling, walking and wheeling for Londoners – the new map covers five years of emergency services data, including newly-released 2024 data.

This year, LCC has also followed up on what happened after ten fatal collisions at ten notorious junctions, reflecting that this isn’t just about kerbs and signals – what friends, family members, TfL and local councils did next, sadly, often highlights the inaction that followed.

This is why LCC has also launched a new email which people can send to the Mayor of London, calling on him to be bolder and braver on junctions – to urge him, TfL and London’s councils to act far faster to avoid the next fatal collision at a known and notoriously dangerous junction ever happening.

The toll of lives lost and inaction.

Alongside updated mapping, LCC launches a new petition emailing the Mayor to demand more action from him, the police, TfL and councils and we also have followed up on ten dangerous junctions that have seen fatalities across London.

LCC highlights that each fatal collision sees families and friends suffer terrible loss. Each of those killed were simply trying to get around London by a largely safe, healthy mode of transport. And in each case, “as is all too common, those with most power to take action on these issues – to prevent another fatal or life-ruining serious collision at these locations, known for being danger spots – have failed to do just about anything.”

Since fatal collisions with an eminent paediatrician and a rising lawyer, plus LCC protests, Camden Council and TfL have tackled the key points at Holborn junctions to improve them, with Camden also announcing further plans to transform the remaining junctions and area. “Political will, at least here, has resulted in life-saving changes – it can be done.”

Public safety and transport: Choices. Outcomes. Impact

The lesson from these junctions is that with political will, there is a way. Claims we need to ‘balance’ motor traffic, public transport, cycling, walking and wheeling are bogus. If the choice is another life cut short, or many thousands moving through an area safely daily, the Mayor, TfL and London’s councils can choose the latter. The compromises, delays and inaction around too many junctions are currently killing and injuring too many Londoners.
