Lee Valley: Britain’s lowest-headroom underpass?

Posted on 22 July 201012 March 2021 by Rob Ainsley


Is this the lowest-headroom cycle bridge in Britain? It’s on National Cycle Route 1 following the Lee Valley north, in Walthamstow marshes.

The cycle path ducks under a railway bridge at Coppermill Lane and leaves you just five feet of headroom, or 152cm – that’s about the minimum required width for a cycle lane.

(The minimum required headroom for underpasses according to TA90/05 appears to be 2.4m, or an inch or two under eight feet.)

This young lady has obviously had practice.
