The project involved closing the junction of Gracefield Gardens and Streatham High Road to cars by creating a large pedestrian island.

From the island, a new crossing over the High Road was painted, and an existing one about 50 yards to the north was removed.

Transport for London (TfL) said the changes were needed in the wake of 69 collisions which have occurred in the area around the junction over the last ten years .
