Cable Street - Transport

Transport

Road

Vehicular traffic is restricted to travel one-way along the whole street, though the direction varies. It is mostly west-bound, but it is east-bound east of Brodlove Lane (itself one-way north-bound). It lies outside of the London congestion charge zone (CCZ).

Bicycle

London Cycle Superhighway 3 runs the length of Cable Street in the form of a two-way segregated cycle track, continuing west into Royal Mint Street (its western terminus). This is well-used by cyclists, especially those commuting to the City and Docklands.

Bus

London Buses routes 100 and D3 both pass west-bound through the central part of Cable Street:

• Route 100 connects to Wapping, Liverpool Street, St. Paul's and Elephant and Castle.
• Route D3 connects to the Isle of Dogs, Limehouse, Wapping and Bethnal Green.
• Route 339 connects to Mile End, Bow and Old Ford from next to Shadwell DLR station.

The district falls within Transport for London's Travelcard zone 2. The nearest London Underground station is Tower Hill. Opened in 2010, the nearest London Overground stations are Shadwell and Wapping on the East London Line.
