260 Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea Opportunity Area Planning FrameworkCyclingThe main cycle link through the OA isLondon Cycle Network (LCN) Route 37or National Cycle Network 4, which runsalong Nine Elms Lane, Battersea Park Road,Wandsworth Road (Vauxhall Gyratory), andAlbert Embankment (northern section). Inaddition LCN Route 5 runs along the westernedge of the OA boundary. There is a notablelack of north-south and north-west tosouth-east connectivity through the OA. Therailway lines are a key constraint restrictingcyclist movement.Conditions for cyclists in and around Vauxhallgyratory, although improved in recent yearscontinue to be challenging.Nine Elms Lane and Battersea Park Roadhave sections of dedicated cycle lane,however as illustrated in Figure TA4.6 thelink is of low quality and is affected bystreet clutter.Albert Embankment has wide bus lanes,good for cyclists good quality cycle lanes.At Vauxhall Interchange, some existingcovered, un-staffed cycle parking isprovided close to the station (Figure TA4.7).These spaces are not being fully utilised,particularly at the eastern end of thearchway. Many bicycles are also still beingsecured to railings within the vicinity. Thisindicates a shortage of high quality, secure,covered cycle parking spaces.NorthNorth0 0.5km0 0.5km1km1km© Crown copyright.
