[[Cycle Superhighway|Cycle Superhighway 7]] (CS7) is an unbroken, signposted [[cycle route]] running through the southeastern portion of the Borough. The route runs along the [[A24 road (England)|A24]] and [[A3 road|A3]] roads, through [[Tooting]], [[Balham]], and [[Clapham]].

[[Cycle Superhighway|Cycle Superhighway 8]] (CS8) is an unbroken, signposted cycle route running through the northern edge of Wandsworth, through [[Battersea]]. The route runs eastโwest along the [[A3205 road|A3205/Battersea Park Road]], but the route leaves the Borough to the north over [[Chelsea Bridge]]. The route begins in Wandsworth Town and runs to [[Millbank]], [[City of Westminster]], passing [[Chelsea, London|Chelsea]] and the [[Tate Britain]] ''en route''. Although CS8 leaves the Borough to the north, cycling infrastructure is provided along the entire A3205 route between Wandsworth Town and [[Nine Elms]].
