Speeding up West Norwood buses

Buses often slow down along Knights Hill and Norwood Road in West Norwood due to traffic congestion. Find out what local residents and businesses said — and what happens next.

Earlier in 2026, Lambeth Council asked residents and businesses for their views on improving traffic, bus services and other street matters along this mile-long stretch of road in the heart of West Norwood. A report has now been published online, detailing the comments and recommendations received. These cover everything from seating at bus stops to parking enforcement.

The 63-page report is best viewed on a larger screen, such as a tablet or laptop: Read the Norwood Road report.

The Norwood Forum is a local stakeholder and expects to be involved in the next steps as the project moves towards the design stage. The Forum will keep you updated.
