"…a simple but brilliantly effective app…" - The Sunday Times Worlds 500 Best App List

"Cool app; use it most days to check route for jams" - Frank Cooke App Store reviewer

Featured in the Sunday Times magazine article "If youre in a Jam…"

Cameras can easily be selected via a Map interface, or a sortable list (sorted by nearest to current location or by ascending/descending) and can be added to your "Favourites" list for quick access later.

Unlike similar apps, London JamCams allows you to define and save "Routes of cameras". Just define your route, add your jam cameras and immediately see the congestion along the whole route before you set off.

✔ Access to over 700 traffic cameras spread across Greater London area

✔ Map view with selectable cameras

Cameras can be placed in any order. Once defined the cameras of a route can be viewed, either manually of via a slideshow

✔ Search for cameras by name (i.e. camera/road name) or by geographical area of cameras (i.e. North or South) to quickly locate a camera
