Grove Park bus station Superloop

Superloop 4

Transport for London (TfL) Superloop routes are designed to help improve connections and journey times between key outer London town centres and transport hubs. The Superloop 4 bus route (SL4) will run between Canary Wharf and Grove Park. Find out more about the Superloop and proposed SL4 bus route.

Baring Road tree removal

TfL is proposing to remove one tree from Baring Road between Grove Park Bus Station and the Esso fuel station.

This is to support the introduction of the new Superloop 4 bus route. TfL are planning to remove this tree as part of the wider TfL works at Grove Park bus station to increase bus standing capacity. The tree removal is required to enable buses to safely turn left when exiting the bus station. This is essential for the Superloop bus to complete its route.

Replanting proposals

As part of our commitment to sustainable tree planting, TfL will fund two new trees which will be planted in vacant tree pits in the immediate area in the next available tree planting season.

Duty to consult – Environment Act 2021 (section 115)

The removal of this tree is subject to public consultation. 

If you want to comment on this proposal, you can email us at: activetravel@lewisham.gov.uk, please title the email ‘Baring Road Tree removal’.

The consultation period runs for 4 weeks from 8 January until 5 February 2025. The response to the consultation will be published on our website.
