#StreetTalks are events for those interested in walking, cycling and public spaces in London
The latest event took place at Look Mum No Hands! cafe in central London.
There is a movement to make London’s streets and public spaces fairer, healthier, greener and more liveable. #Street Talks are a series of informal events that are open to anyone and facilitate discussion into a diverse range of ideas and topics around travel and public spaces in London.
From 2017, Sustrans will be leading the organisation and management of Street Talks. Street Talks are an opportunity for anyone with an interest in travel and public spaces in London to meet with others involved in cycling, walking, architecture and design to explore and discuss insights, best practice and plans. The event is open to everyone; professionals, commentators, campaigners and individuals.
Vision for London
The London Mayor Sadiq Khan has made it clear he has a vision for ‘Healthy Streets’ in London, making cycling and walking much safer and more attractive. But what does this actually mean in practice? Our Street Talks events will try to answer just that.
