A501 (LONDON INNER RING ROAD) Traffic

The A501 is a trunk road in the United Kingdom, running through Central London. It starts at Marylebone Road, going through Euston, Victoria and Vauxhall, before ending at Vauxhall Bridge.

The history of the A501 dates back to the 1920s, when it was a bypass route around the Metropolitan Borough of St Marylebone and a section of the Great Western Road. The road was later extended in 1934 and the A501 became the main route between Marylebone and Vauxhall Bridge.

The A501 is a busy route, due to its location in Central London. It is used by commuters and those travelling to nearby offices, theatres and shops. The busiest times are weekday mornings and evenings, with slowdowns due to increased traffic and typical London traffic patterns.
