Take a look at the proposed cycle and pedestrian bridge and if you support the idea please read on and vote to make it happen!

Local Architectural practice reForm Architects have been shortlisted for their design for a pedestrian and cycle bridge linking Rotherhithe with Canary Wharf which is currently un-built but with a huge demand. Public support is critical in gaining momentum at this stage of their proposal and the ?Peoples? Choice Award? is the ideal time to show support for the design which will help to bring it one step closer to being built.


If you support this design please vote by either

emailing [email protected] and writing ?I vote for Rotherhithe Bridge ? Transport Infrastructure in the New London Awards?

- OR -

By tweeting your choice using ?#NLAwards16 RotherhitheBridge?

- OR-

In person at the New London Awards exhibition at the Building Centre, WC1


Predicted to carry 13,000 clean commuters every day - that?s equivalent to 15 full Jubilee Line trains or over 170 full double decker buses.

Less congestion on road and rail and cleaner air.

There are no bridges in East London. If built the Rotherhithe Bridge will bring immediate benefits to both sides of the river.

To find out more about the project including an animation, see the Rotherhithe Bridge website -

If you support this design please VOTE now and SHARE to spread the word , thanks!

There's a foot tunnel at Greenwich. You have to get off and push, which takes a bit of time, but compared with dog-legging through Rotherhithe, it's probably as quick. And there's a lot less traffic.


Disclaimer: I have no connection with anyone involved with the design, build, financing, operations or maintenance of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, nor do I, or anyone I know, stand to profit from its construction.

There's restrictions, except for certain bikes (like Bromptons) in peak times


Bring on that bridge I say

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
