Monday 17 November until 2027

A23 Streatham Hill
From Monday 17 November, lane restrictions affecting both directions of the A23 between the junction with Holmewood Road on Brixton Hill and the junction with B221 Sternhold Avenue on Streatham Hill will be updated and further delays expected.
For short journeys in the local area, consider walking or cycling where possible. Cycle diversions will be available throughout these works, and will be safer and quieter than cycling through the works area on the A23.
If you need to drive in the Streatham Area, allow more time for your journey and check before you travel as delays are expected throughout these works. If you’re using the A23 for long distance journeys, use the A24 or A3 instead.
The A23 will also be closed between the junction with the A205 Christchurch Road and the junction with the B221 Sternhold Avenue from 22:00 until 05:00 each night on Sunday 16 and Monday 17 November, so traffic management can be updated safely. Signed diversions will be in place during this closure.
This is due to ongoing work to deliver a new permanent road layout on the A23 Streatham Hill.

Santander Cycles

The following docking stations are suspended this weekend:
  • Victoria Rise
  • Clapham Common
