The car-free day is connected to the Council's Low Emission Neighbourhood work. People planning to travel to or go through Greenwich town centre on Sunday 25 June are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport, or plan for a slightly longer journey due to the road closures.

Largest programme of street arts in London

Part of the Royal Greenwich Festivals, the Greenwich + Docklands International Festival (GDIF) includes the largest and most intensive programme of street arts in the capital, featuring UK and international circus, theatre, dance, street games, cabaret, live art and mass participation.

Keeping the roads clear for the festival 

Councillor Sizwe James, Cabinet Member for Transport, Economy and Smart Cities, said: "The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival team know how to put on a fantastic show, and we want people to be able to move around key streets in Greenwich town centre freely, so that they can enjoy this amazing outdoor experience even more."
