Five historic Greenwich streets reimagined without cars

According to data from Transport for London (TfL), there are 2.56 million cars licensed in the capital, with 4.6 million car trips made in London every day.

Greenwich is one of south east London’s most historic boroughs, boasting Georgian architecture, a 19th century tea clipper and even a former palace.

We used the online tool at dutchcyclinglifestyle.com to see what some of Greenwich’s most historic and popular streets would look like without cars and here are the results.

Greenwich Church Street

Starting off with one of Greenwich’s most busy streets, stretching between the Cutty Sark and Greenwich High Road, and lined with many shops, restaurants and Greenwich Market.

The street takes on a more pedestrianised feel with the removal of cars and traffic lights.

King William Walk

Another of Greenwich’s most popular streets is King William Walk, where you’ll find some of the borough's most famous landmarks like Greenwich Park and the Old Royal Naval College.

With its impressive historic houses, the absence of cars really makes it feel that the street hasn’t been touched by time.

Crooms Hill

With Greenwich Park as its neighbour, Crooms Hill is a highly coveted part of Greenwich with 17th century houses and a quiet, residential feel.

Without cars, the street certainly takes on an even more tranquil and residential look than before.

Park Row

North of Greenwich Park is Park Row, this street links up the park to the riverside, where you’ll find one of Greenwich’s oldest pubs – The Trafalgar Tavern.

Normally this street has a lot of cars, but in their absence this street certainly lives up to its name.

College Approach

Finally finishing with one of Greenwich’s most impressive streets, College Approach is situated a stone's throw from Greenwich’s Cutty Sark and Old Royal Naval College, offering views of both with its historic buildings.

Normally this street is busy with traffic, but in its absence the street takes on a more pedestrianised feel.
