Traffic in Southwark right now

Southwark is an inner south London borough immediately south of the Thames and the City. The A2 (Old Kent Road) runs south-east from the Elephant & Castle. Borough High Street (A3) connects to London Bridge. The A200 (Jamaica Road) runs along the river. The Elephant & Castle is a major junction undergoing significant regeneration — roadworks in the area have been ongoing.

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.

When is traffic busiest in Southwark?

Peak hours: Elephant & Castle is congested throughout the working day. Borough High Street/London Bridge is slow all day. A2 (Old Kent Road) is busy throughout working hours — particularly at the Bricklayers Arms junction.

Like most London boroughs, Southwark 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 A2, A200, A201, A3 — these carry the bulk of through and commuter traffic and are the most likely to experience delays during peak periods.

How to use the live cameras

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.
