Cycling along Studio Walk

The Royal Parks are seeking funding for an 18-month trial to allow cycling along Kensington Gardens' Studio Walk, which runs in front of Kensington Palace.

This path would extend the east-west route across the park, which currently goes no further west than the Broad Walk. Cyclists' ultimate aspiration is to have a route through to Kensington Church street and then up Holland Street and through Holland Park. Allowing cycling along Studio Walk would be the next step towards this aspiration.

Studio Walk, where cycling is not currently permitted.

Atkins Intelligent Space have now produced a Cycling Assessment Report, following consultation with the Royal Parks Senior Management team, Crown Estates, Royal Household, Historic Royal Palaces and the Police (Diplomatic Security section). The report concluded that pedestrians and cyclists could both use the path without getting in each other's way.
