This may have slipped under the radar, but TfL have published loads of data on pre-COVID travel trends, split by borough. Here are a few of the most revealing stats on public transport use, the challenge to shift walk and cycle and the impacts cars have on our streets [1/9]

In 6 boroughs, over 60% of people commuting do so by public transport (Haringey, Lewisham, Newham, Wandsworth, Greenwich and Waltham Forest). Over 100,000 London Underground trips are made per day by residents of Camden, Lambeth and Newham [2/9]

If car-owning residents in Camden made their usual public transport trips by car, the number of car trips made by borough residents would increase by over 90 per cent, highlighting the risk of the economic recovery not being based on walking and cycling [3/9]

If 4/5 of usual public transport journeys were made by active travel instead (to reflect reduced Tube/bus capacity b/c of social distancing), streets in Redbridge would have to support residents to make 94% more journeys by walking or cycling than they previously did [4/9]

Nearly half of Westminster residents who commute by public transport travel less than 5 kilometres to work (44%) and could potentially cycle if the roads were safe enough. However, they also have the highest number of road casualties (272 in 2018, ahead of Lambeth on 202) [5/9]

Three boroughs see over a 1000 tonnes of nitrous oxide emissions from road transport a year (Barnet, Enfield, Hillingdon). Over a fifth of residents in Kensington and Chelsea are exposed to 65+dB of noise from transport, the highest in London [6/9]

Islington has the joint lowest share of households without a car, at 29%. However, they’ve also got the highest number of households without a car but with someone with a driving licence (26%) so a particular risk of car ownership increase [7/9]

18% of Wandsworth’s road space is taken up by residents’ parked cars. Over 4% of Richmond’s is taken up by residents’ 2nd/3rd cars. 42% of residents’ cars parked on Bexley’s streets are 2nd/3rd cars [8/9]
