caption_attribution_description: English: The "Waterlink Way" walking and cycling route in Sydenham, London.
context_page_description: The routes includes Cycleways and the older London Cycle Network, all designated by local government body Transport for London, National Cycle Network routes designated by sustainable transport charity Sustrans, and miscellaneous Greenways created by various bodies. Most recently, in May 2020 TfL announced its Streetspace for London in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  Note: not all these routes are dedicated 'traffic free' cycle tracks: most of them also include ordinary roads shared with motor traffic and footpaths shared with pedestrians.
context_section_description: The sustainable transport charity Sustrans describe their National Cycle Network (NCN) as "a network of safe traffic-free paths and quiet on-road cycling" that "criss-cross the country, linking up villages, towns and cities". Several of these NCN routes pass through London. NCN routes are signed with white lettering on a blue background, with route numbers having a red background. In July 2020 Sustrans de-designated nearly a quarter of its National Cycle Network on safety grounds, including some routes in the Greater London area.
caption: The Waterlink Way, a traffic-free cycle route in Lewisham, is also part of the National Cycle Network.
