STATUS
• 50.9% of households in Lambeth have no access to a car, one of the
highest proportions in the country (see map below) (Census 2001).
• Lambeth has the highest proportion of population who travel to work by
public transport: 58.6% compared with 14.1% nationally.
• 69% of Lambeth residents rate local public transport as good or excellent
compared with 66% of inner-London residents and 61% of Londoners
overall (Residents’ survey 2007).
• 64% of young people in Lambeth rate local public transport as good or
excellent compared with 63% of young inner-London residents and 57% of
young Londoners overall (Residents’ survey 2007).
SIGNIFICANT INEQUALITIES IDENTIFIED
• Residents in the south of the Borough face a number of difficulties in trying
to undertake local trips or access central London by public transport. They
are generally restricted to using buses which are slow due to a lack of
priority measures. In addition, since they are mainly focused on north-south
radial routes, they do not adequately serve some of the housing estates
(see map below).
