About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
This camera covers Tweedy Road east of Sherman Road, in Bromley town centre close to the Old Town Hall and business improvement district offices — a more civic and administrative corner of the town centre than purely retail, connecting through to the Glades shopping centre area nearby.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
Weekday mornings see office and civic-building traffic alongside the standard commuter peak 07:30–09:00, while afternoons and Saturdays shift toward shopping-driven congestion as Glades traffic filters through nearby streets. This stretch is generally calmer than the immediate High Street but still feels knock-on effects when the town centre is congested.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Standard town centre parking and loading restrictions apply, with permit-holder bays covering many surrounding streets given the mix of civic and residential buildings. ULEZ applies across Bromley 24 hours a day; check tfl.gov.uk/ulez for compliance before driving in.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
If this stretch is congested, it's worth checking whether the cause is town-centre-wide, in which case Kentish Way is the better bypass, or something local to this specific section. For anyone not needing the immediate civic or retail area, avoiding Tweedy Road entirely in favour of Kentish Way is usually simpler. Given the mix of civic and business traffic here, a minor collision claim involving a council or business vehicle can take slightly longer to resolve than a standard car accident claim, so keep clear photographic evidence from the outset.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
This stretch tends to be quieter than the main High Street cameras, so if you see it backing up, it's a reasonably reliable sign that Bromley town centre as a whole is under pressure.
ULEZ & Emissions
The London Borough of Bromley now operates entirely within the expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which is active 24/7, every day of the year. Non-compliant vehicles (pre-Euro 6 diesel / pre-Euro 4 petrol) face a £12.50 daily charge. No Congestion Charge applies here. Check your vehicle compliance at tfl.gov.uk/ulez.
