Our beautiful parklet on the last day today 🤩🤩 We love seeing the people sitting on the kerb, and the queue outside La Maritxu. Feels like it has a New York vibe. This 📸 was taken by a local resident. Lots of people have been saying they’d like it to be permanent …

Number of cycling journeys on the Embankment so far this year: Two million, seven hundred and sixty-nine thousand, eight-hundred and sixty two. Take a moment to let that sink in. People seem to rather like having safe cycling infrastructure! Next year: Three million?

Soho at 10 PM this evening, peak Friday night. This is Denman street and it’s totally clogged with cars. Where are all these drivers going? Is this really the Soho we want to show people? That we’re proud of? Is this really the best it can be?

We’re still absolutely chuffed to bits with seeing children fill the whole lane on the streets of Westminster on Sunday! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 We want to see so much more of this in our borough. Protected cycle lanes and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods allow children to cycle like this. We … 1/2

When popstar Duffy sung about Warwick Avenue, did she mention that there were four, FOUR lanes for parking here? We’ll need to go back and check. Our PM talks about a “War on Motorists”, but all we can see is motorists being constantly indulged. Here they have 5 lanes. /1.

This is PARK LANE earlier today 👀👀 But was it 👍🏻 or 👎🏻 we wondered? “OH” we thought. “There’s a city of Westminster van parking on a red route in the cycle lane! Gah!” But then we realised … look at what this fine gentleman is doing to the bike lane! 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Stop what you’re doing and watch this!!! Our ride on Sunday had children filling the whole lane on their 🚲, and people came on a huge range of cycles. Sound up for some inspiration with a bit of classic rock. This is the future of our streets. And we love to see it!

Chris Gunness is a resident of W2, and has a trick for dealing with drivers parked with their engines on … By day, he has a highly busy and successful job as the Director of an NGO, but when talking to idling drivers, says he “goes really humble”. Here’s how 👇🏻👇🏻

Two versions of Soho this evening on a Friday night. Which one would you prefer to spend time in? Which one makes you feel comfortable, relaxed as a pedestrian?

On Valentine’s Day, let us tell you about something we love in Westminster. It’s South Carriage Drive without motor traffic 💙 If you turn up the sound, what can you hear? There are so many things! There is a consultation about whether it should stay like this all week ⬇️ 1/4

Recently we pedalled through the arch at Hyde Park corner at 8 AM into another world- a world where cyclists are MANY MANY! Turn this video up for Ariana Grande and enjoy seeing a rush hour with a difference … It’s a pedal rush hour! 🚴🏿🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏿🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♂️ - 1/2
