Alternative travel
options
Tower Hamlets transport strategy
encourages alternative modes of travel to private car use in order
to reduce congestion and pollution and improve the health of
residents in the Borough. There are a number of alternative
travel options available to residents. Car clubs are a great option for those who
need to use a car relatively infrequently, saving the cost of
owning and maintaining a private car.

comprehensive public transport network: to plan a journey on public
transport use TfL's journey planner, or find
