I am never not *astonished* when I walk thru Lutyens’s Page Street flat blocks in Pimlico, (1) ‘cause BLIMEY that chequerboard effect is *dazzling* and (2) they feel so modern yet a design of 1928. Social housing; but fine housing. Even

AHL - advance horse line? :)
This shared crossing with pedestrians has too much conflict now to be shared use; the crossing should be redesigned to separate out users
Bus stop bypass for new cycleway
New two-way segregated cycleway constructed using wands
Very poor apportionment of road space outside Harrods
Now that’s how you design a quick build cycle lane and bus stop!!
Admittedly, it does help if you’ve spent half a century aggressively widening roads in the name of car dominance.
First time I have seen a bike hangar out in the wild in @CityWestminster 😊

New contraflow cycle lane, blocked by a Royal Mail van which forces cyclists out into oncoming traffic.
I can't tell how much this is roadworks and how much it's a covid-19 pop-up cycle facility.

More cycle parking needed at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington

Cycle stands but no dropped kerb where there could be a route to and across Paddington Basin.
Not a cycle route, not a cycle stand, but people do ride through here.
Decorative bridge at Paddington Basin - not a cycle route.

The No Cycling sign should be beyond the turning to the left.

New contraflow cycleway and dooring zone
Nice level access to South Molton Street but there's a No Entry sign, alas.
Does there really need to be a cycling ban on Shepherd's Place in this day and age?
End of shared-use cycleway, turn left or right - there's a No Cycling sign (just to the right) for the footway ahead.
Pedestrian crossing point and tourists on the footway on Santander bikes.
No idea what slowing down is meant to achieve. Telling drivers to leave space might make more sense.
