Cycle Hangars additional information

Unfortunately, a timeframe cannot be applied due to the popularity of the cycle hangar scheme. We are regularly installing more hangars throughout the borough and you can check where you are on the waiting lists at any time through your account. You will be notified of any new hangars near your registered address if you wish to join the waiting list for those.

Hangar spaces are offered to those at the top of the waiting list, who have been waiting the longest. If a hangar space is offered to someone at the top of the list and they reject the offer, the space will then be offered to the next person on the list and so on. 

You will receive an email to the email address you registered when you created your account. Ensure your contact details are kept up to date via your account to avoid messages being missed. Don’t forget to save us as an approved sender to avoid emails going into your junk.

If the offer is not responded to within 14 days, this person will be removed from the waiting list and the space will be offered to the next person.

If a hangar shows as FULL on the system, this means that a subscription has been paid for each space. As long as each subscriber adheres to the terms and conditions of use, we cannot dictate that a person store their bike in the hangar at all times.

We regularly assess the locations requested via our website and levels of occupancy and demand in the surrounding area, as well as the suitability of new locations on requested roads. Another resident may already have requested a hangar on your road and you can support their request. However, please note that sometimes it is not possible to install a hangar in all requested locations.

You can register a request for a new hangar location and “like” existing requests here - Project: Where should we have bike hangars? | London Borough of Southwark

You can also email cyclehangars@southwark.gov.uk.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a cycle hangar will be installed following your expression of interest. We consider several factors, such as existing hangar occupancy, other expressions of interest at this location, and the suitability of the location for installation. All hangar locations are subject to funding and our consultation process.

Some of our hangars are located on estates and are solely for use by those residents. 

You can filter hangars on the map. If there are no other hangars nearby, submit a new hangar request here Project: Where should we have bike hangars? | London Borough of Southwark.
