All Change at Bank
The All Change at Bank project follows the Bank on Safety scheme, which was made permanent in September 2018, which restricts traffic through Bank Junction to improve safety, to buses and cycles only Monday to Friday 7am and 7pm.
Between January and September 2020 a series of temporary improvements were installed including wider pavements, wider and shorter pedestrian crossings. This will help to ease the pavement crowding whilst further work is undertaken on a longer-term project.
The All Change at Bank project is aligned with the programme for Transport for London to increase passenger capacity at Bank Station, which is due to complete by the end of 2022. The City of London Corporation wants to improve the environment for the large number of people who walk and cycle through the area, and provide a fitting setting for the iconic buildings at the heart of the Square Mile to be enjoyed.
There has been significant growth in the numbers of people who walk and cycle through the junction in recent years, which the physical environment does not reflect. With expected continued growth from nearby developments and the station capacity upgrade, the project aims to deliver change at the junction by the end of 2022 by:
- Simplifying the junction to make it safer
- Reducing crowding and making it more comfortable to walk
- Improving air quality
- Improving the perception of place, as a place to spend time in rather than pass through​

Phases
Incorporate feedback into designs and gain relevant approvals
During this time we will report to City of London Corporation Committees (July), with the findings from the public consultation and incorporate these findings into the designs for the junction, if agreed the final stages of design and external approvals will be sought.
We will then prepare a final report seeking approval to start construction, which would be submitted to Committees in October.
