SW15
Non-fault accident support in Putney
Putney is an inner south-west London suburb at the southern end of Putney Bridge, one of the few Thames crossings in south-west London. The bridge creates a significant bottleneck on the A219 corridor linking Fulham and West London to the north with Putney High Street and the A3 to the south. Putney station on the District Line and the suburban rail station on the Waterloo line serve the area, but the A3 proximity means car dependency is high for residents accessing the South Circular and the motorway network.
The A3 Kingston Road passes through Putney and continues south-west toward the A3 Kingston Bypass, making Putney one of the primary entry and exit points for traffic heading between central London and Surrey or Hampshire. The A3 within the Putney boundary is managed by TfL on the urban section and transitions to a National Highways dual carriageway south of the Robin Hood roundabout on the boundary with Kingston. The Robin Hood roundabout, at the junction of the A3 and A308 Kingston Road, is the primary conflict zone for the south-west London approach corridor.
Putney Heath and Wimbledon Common form the large open green space to the south-west of Putney, accessed via Putney Heath and West Hill. The roads around the common edges are relatively unlit and see a pattern of incidents at dawn and dusk particularly in winter, when pedestrians and cyclists are less visible on the approach roads to the common.
Traffic and road conditions in Putney
Putney High Street and Upper Richmond Road (A205) form the town centre road network. Upper Richmond Road is the South Circular on this section and carries heavy through-traffic at 30mph. The junction of Putney High Street with Upper Richmond Road at Putney station is one of the highest-volume junctions in the borough, with pedestrian crossings, bus stops, and the junction of the A219 from Putney Bridge all meeting in a compact space.
Putney Bridge Road and the Putney Bridge approach carry the A219 traffic from Fulham across the Thames. The bridge itself is a two-lane structure and the approach roads on the south bank narrow at points, creating a merging conflict between traffic from the bridge and vehicles entering from Upper Richmond Road. Lane-discipline incidents at the bridge approach are a recurring claim type in SW15.

How we handle Putney accident claims
Putney Bridge incidents fall under the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham on the north bank and Wandsworth on the south bank. The bridge itself is managed by Transport for London. CCTV on the bridge and both approach roads is TfL-operated. We file TfL preservation requests for all Putney Bridge incidents regardless of which bank the collision started on.
A3 incidents within the Putney boundary are TfL Road Network; south of Robin Hood roundabout they are National Highways. The transition point is important for evidence preservation because the camera infrastructure, the police force involved in the response (Met versus Surrey), and the highway authority all change at this point.
Major roads and known hazards in Putney
The road authority for each route is identified so the right disclosure request (council, Transport for London, or National Highways) can be filed inside the typical 14 to 31-day CCTV retention window.

| A219 | Putney Bridge Road / High Street | Primary Thames crossing; bridge bottleneck; A205 junction at station is main conflict point. |

Frequently asked questions
- Is Putney inside the ULEZ?
- Yes. SW15 is within the ULEZ. Replacement vehicles we arrange are ULEZ-compliant.
- My accident was on Putney Bridge itself - which authority's CCTV covers it?
- TfL manages Putney Bridge and holds the CCTV on the bridge and both approach roads. We file the TfL preservation request within 48 hours. The retention window is typically 28 days.
- The other driver merged into me coming off Putney Bridge - are they at fault?
- A driver merging without adequate observation who strikes your vehicle is typically at fault. The lane-discipline evidence from the bridge CCTV and any dashcam footage establishes whether they were already in your lane or merged into you. We preserve that evidence immediately.
