Live Traffic Camera—A2 Eltham West E/B

Peak times at A2 Eltham West E/B are the standard London rush windows: weekday mornings from roughly 07:30 to 09:30 and evenings from 16:30 to 19:00. During school terms, an additional peak around 08:15–09:00 and again at 15:00–16:00 affects roads near schools. Saturdays between 11:00 and 15:00 can also bring significant congestion, particularly on routes with retail nearby. For real-time conditions at this specific point, check the JamCam feed above — it refreshes every five minutes.

This location is outside the Congestion Charge Zone, so no CC charge applies. However, like all roads in Greater London, this location falls inside the ULEZ boundary, meaning ULEZ applies here 24 hours a day. Most petrol cars from 2006 onwards and diesel cars from 2015 onwards are compliant and pay nothing. Older vehicles face a daily ULEZ charge of £12.50. Check TfL's free vehicle checker at tfl.gov.uk to find out if your car or van is affected.

TfL's JamCam network operates at over 95% uptime across its 900+ cameras. Individual cameras can go offline temporarily due to maintenance, power issues or road damage, but outages are usually resolved within hours. When this specific camera is unavailable, the page will show an error message — nearby cameras in the strip below the main feed often give a useful alternative view. TfL's Open Data API also occasionally experiences brief delays, which can result in images that are slightly older than the usual five-minute interval.
