Also this area has some of the ONLY curb-separated cycle path in London that I've ever seen. Unfortunately, it's also not on the most heavy-traffic routes, where it might count more (although it's better than nothing). I end up cycling it at night, ZERO other cyclists there, and I only travel 400m up it, out of a 14km trip throughout parts of London that need such paths...
Walking with my bike near that right turn near the Eurostar the other night I met a nice crackhead needing a light 'for his cigarette'... I wish all drivers could react with the speed he did when getting handed the lighter - great hand-eye coordination when moving lighter-to-pipe-to-mouth, took a quarter second at most, but shame it was for crack! He complimented me afterwards for being polite! London is a funny place.
