About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
Temple Mills gives its name to this A12 camera at the northern edge of Waltham Forest's coverage, close to the Newham boundary and the wider Stratford area, carrying genuine through-traffic between Leytonstone and the Olympic Park.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Through-traffic dominates this stretch given its position toward the northern end of the corridor, with local traffic reflecting Temple Mills' mixed industrial and residential character at the standard 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–18:30 peaks.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
No stopping is permitted given the road's strategic through-route role here, with standard A12 camera enforcement applying. If you're flagged here, search tfl penalty charge early, since appeals genuinely move faster once you have the right reference to hand.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Checking conditions toward Leytonstone and the Green Man Roundabout helps clarify whether congestion here is local or part of wider pressure along the corridor. Locals who've broken down on this road say searching broken down on motorway in advance genuinely pays off the first time you need it.
Driver Safety & Local Tips

Parking near A12 Temple Mls 3672B, North London
The A12 here is a red route with constant enforcement, so locals park a street or two back rather than attempting anything on the main road. Waltham Forest's CPZ covers the nearby residential streets, generally Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm. The Score Centre car park and Leytonstone High Road's forecourt car park are both a reasonable walk from here if you need something more certain. Bank holidays lift permit-bay enforcement, though yellow lines and loading restrictions still apply as normal.
If on-street parking is hard to find, apps like JustPark and YourParkingSpace let you pre-book a private driveway or car park nearby — typically from around £2–£6 per hour or £10–£25 per day depending on how central the location is.
