Covent Garden Traffic Scheme Consultation

Covent Garden

Following extensive public consultation in 2021 and previous years, an experimental traffic management scheme introduced changes to traffic movements, vehicle access, parking and servicing in the Covent Garden area from 8 December 2021.

The changes were introduced in both the Westminster and Camden parts of Covent Garden by an Experimental Traffic Order so that the scheme could be monitored closely and changes can be made quickly if unforeseen problems occurred.

Now that the trial has been in place for almost a year, the two councils are proposing to make the changes permanent so they are carrying out a final consultation. You can tell the councils what you think by completing the questionnaire here.

BBC London: Westminster Council calls on the Mayor to support Soho businesses

Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
Cllr Tim Barnes explains that just two Westminster wards, West End and St James's, account for 26% of all "small crime" across the whole of London, which he says is exactly why some regulation of venues is necessary. He again pointed to the Mayor's record on transport as the bigger barrier to a good night out, saying Sadiq Khan "keeps cutting the night buses and won't bring in a late-night tube service on Thursdays."
