- The Cross River Tram, formerly Cross River Transit, is a Transport for London (TfL) proposal for a 16.5 km tram system in London, England, to connect Camden Town to King's Cross, Peckham and Brixton. It is planned to relieve overcrowding on the London Underground, and to improve transport in areas currently without good public transport, such as the Aylesbury Estate in Southwark, to support regeneration. Trams would run up to every 4 minutes on each branch, giving a 2 minute service through central London at peak times. Subject to approval and funding, it could be operational by 2016.

Trams would run up to every 4 minutes on each branch, giving a 2 minute service through central London at peak times. Subject to approval and funding, it could be operational by 2016. However, London Mayor Ken Livingstone told the London Assembly on 18th July 2007[1] that he has asked TfL to consider splitting the implementation, and build the southern section in advance of the northern section. It is not yet clear where such a split would be were this suggestion to be adopted.
