The Square Mile — highest camera density per square kilometre in London, with Lower Thames Street and Upper Thames Street being the most used east-west through routes.
The City of London is the Square Mile — the historic core of the city and the UK's primary financial district. Despite its tiny area, it has a very high density of TfL cameras. Lower Thames Street and Upper Thames Street carry significant east-west traffic along the river. Cannon Street, London Wall and Cheapside are the main cross-city routes. The area is a Congestion Charge Zone and also has specific ULEZ restrictions.
The live camera feeds above are pulled directly from TfL's JamCam network and update automatically — each camera refreshes every 5 minutes during operational hours. The reel at the top cycles through available feeds from across the borough so you can get a quick read on conditions without clicking through individually. Click on any camera in the reel or grid to open the full feed view.

Like most London boroughs, City of London follows a broadly predictable weekly pattern. School holidays — particularly the summer break — can noticeably reduce peak congestion on residential and school-route roads, though leisure traffic on major arterials can partially offset this at weekends. Bank holidays are generally lighter, though leisure destinations may see higher-than-usual traffic.
The main roads to watch are the A1211, A10, A3211, Lower Thames Street — these carry the bulk of through and commuter traffic and are the most likely to experience delays during peak periods.
Each camera in the grid above links through to its individual feed page where you can see a larger view and read the camera's precise location. The reel at the top cycles automatically — use the previous/next buttons to jump through feeds manually, or click anywhere on the reel image to open that camera's dedicated page. The pause button holds the reel on the current camera.
Camera feeds come directly from TfL's JamCam network. Not all cameras broadcast video — some provide still images updated every few minutes. The reel prioritises video feeds where available and falls back to still images automatically. If a camera shows no image, it may be temporarily offline or undergoing maintenance.
