About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
This camera covers Tweedy Road at its junction with Widmore Road, on the opposite side of Bromley town centre from the Sherman Road camera and closer to the Glades shopping centre's bus stops and cycle parking — seeing more direct shopping-related footfall and bus activity than the civic end further along.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
This junction carries standard weekday commuter peaks 07:30–09:00 and 16:30–18:00, with a pronounced Saturday shopping peak building through late morning as visitors head for the Glades and the wider town centre. Bus activity is heavier here than on many of the other Bromley cameras.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Bus lane restrictions and standard loading rules apply along this stretch given the concentration of bus stops nearby. Town centre parking restrictions cover surrounding streets, with short-stay bays clearly signed separately from residents' permit zones. ULEZ applies across Bromley 24/7; check tfl.gov.uk/ulez.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
Kentish Way remains the best bypass option for anyone not specifically heading into the town centre when this junction is heavy with bus and shopping traffic. For Glades visitors, the tram and rail links noted on the centre's own travel information are often genuinely faster than driving in on a Saturday. Bus-related shunts near this stop cluster tend to involve a road traffic accident claims process specific to public transport operators, which can move differently to a standard car-on-car claim.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
Watch for buses pulling in and out near this junction — it's a higher-frequency stop area than most other Bromley cameras cover, and that alone accounts for a fair share of the stop-start pattern you'll see here.
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.
Parking near Tweedy Rd N of Widmore Rd, South London
Tweedy Road near Widmore Road sits close to the Glades shopping centre's bus stops, and this end of the street sees heavier footfall-driven parking demand than the civic end further along. Bromley Council car parks are the more reliable option here given how quickly on-street CPZ bays fill on a Saturday. Visitor vouchers cost £45–£55 per book of 15 depending on the zone's restriction hours, purchased through the Bromley permit portal — note that Bromley issues 12-month permits only, with no shorter-term option for residents. bromley.gov.uk/parking has the current price list and zone checker. Visitor vouchers must be correctly scratched to show the date and displayed on the dashboard — failure to do so risks a full-charge PCN even if you've technically paid for one.
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.
