I'm starting to think the protests have paid off

I've spoke to them about the junction on the north side of Southwark bridge too, and a consultation for that should appear soon. They are taking a lane of traffic out, and replacing it with a dedicated cycle lane and advance cycle traffic lights (bikes go before the cars/lorries).

I suspect it's a combination of the flurry of deaths last November (leaving TfL open to legal charges?) and the increasing population of London needing to get people out of the Tube and buses as much as possible so the main infrastructure doesn't jam up.

Loads of people riding in today - combination of sunny weather and the Tour I guess, but good to see.

Riding in from Bromley, the treatment from drivers in London is significantly better IME.
