So much new traffic-free space, and this is more or less all the new cycle parking for Somerset House - more is needed!
Cycle and pedestrian crossing from the new traffic-free section of the Strand - but it's usually too busy to cycle.
Despite the 20mph sign, cyclists have to turn left here - the route ahead is for westbound cyclists only.
Bridge in the Grosvenor Waterside development - pedestrians only, and it doesn't really go anywhere.
The segregated cycleways along the Embankment (CS8 and NCN route 4) start here at this bike sharing station
No Entry, but Please ride considerately? Clearly an Except Cycles plate is missing - but the design of this whole route is based on it being closed for major events and used for motor vehicles.
Why does this have to be so complicated? Luckily one can just go straight ahead between the bollards.
Vale, Dame Vivienne Westwood: designer, punk, cyclist. Her London office was close to mine so I’d see her all the time going by bike. I remember spotting her red hair from afar as she circled Berkeley Square, weaving around stationary t ... [more]
[Image taken 21.10.22] Storey's Wine Bar/Westminster Arms (www.westminsterarms.co.uk/), 9 & 10 Storey Gate, Westminster, SW1P 3AT. Two laden e-cargo cycles. This image was posted to the Lambeth Cycles googlegroup: https://lambethcyclists.or ... [more]
There are plenty of folding bikes already on the Elizabeth Line - I'm not sure that people have realised that regular bikes can also be carried.

The west end of the Strand was closed to through motor traffic in August 2021. It's STILL a building site in March 2022, with no through access for bikes at the west end.

Bike-sharing station and bridge to Paddington station across the canal (ramp this end, steps and a lift at the other).
Rising bollards/modal filter - having been closed for a full ten years for Crossrail construction work, access on the southwestern side of Paddington station has been opened up again.

Modal filter on the ramp to/from the Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) station at Paddington - those aren't Sheffield stands to the left, they're just to keep the doors clear.
Passageway between the main line and Crossrail (Elizabeth Line) stations at Paddington - the No Cycles sign refers only to the temporary fencing but there's still a huge lack of cycle parking here.
A ‘live’ cycle parking indicator telling you exactly how many spaces are left. We’ve done this for years with car parks but I’ve not seen one for bikes before (although I expect it's not the first). [Particularly useful for peopl ... [more]
Lansdowne Passage leading to Berkeley Street - this was notorious as a perfect getaway for robbers and highwaymen. They put in place iron bars to stop them riding through. https://t.co/hBnQjspNaK See also www.londonremembers.com/sites ... [more]
Bike parking and Santander cycles at the National Gallery - the stands in the distance are fenced off for building work.

Maybe they'll finally be able to provide a decent amount of cycle parking for Somerset House and the Courtauld Gallery once the west end of the Strand is open only to pedestrians and cycles?

It would be more useful to actually provide cycle parking rather than just putting up railings with No Cycle Parking stickers.

Feeing for the owner of this newish looking bike locked up on the corner of Berwick and Gt Marlborough St in Soho- the roadworks further along the road mean that large vehicles turn right and perhaps don’t check what they’re running ove ... [more]
