Cycles crossing from Wellington Street to Waterloo Bridge have an awkward merge.
William IV Street, Covent Garden, London.
St Martin's Lane, Covent Garden with the towers of London Coliseum and St. Martin-in-the-Fields in the distance.
Lots of roadworks in the area make it effectively pedestrianized.

London Cycle Network signs for:
Euston and King's Cross straight on
Left for Covent Garden, Soho
RIght for The City and Islington
But I think it has been rotated 180 degrees.
Cycle hire in Soho Square
Magnolia by the cycle racks.
Roadspace claimed for pedestrians and covered with planters in Regent Street, London
Except cycles in Oxendon and Panton Streets
Panton Street, West End, London
Eclectic mix of electric bikes in Cambridge Circus.
Santander hire bikes in Kensington Gardens, Queensway.
Timing of signal for cyclists going between Hyde Park/William St is awful. Lots of waiting even when people could go.
Bikes on the Elizabeth Line - quite normal now, though the two lifts to get down to the platforms are not close to each other so it's a tedious transfer.
Alley near Paddington station (and an excellent new real ale/craft beer pub)
I'd guess that cycles can still get through.
Cycle parking and route sign etc

I was pleasantly surprised to notice bikes parked just inside the main entrance of this building: No. One, Horse Guards Avenue.
It was a small set of two-tier racks.
Horse Guards Avenue has advisory cycle lanes.
So much new traffic-free space, and this is more or less all the new cycle parking for Somerset House - more is needed!
Modal filter on the new traffic-free section of the Strand
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.
The Parliament Square cycleway blocked by a bus in the middle of the junction
Lights on the Parliament Square cycleway

Cyclesuperhighway 8 narrows here to pass inside a floating bus stop.
Temporary closure, I think, but cyclists can get through

The off-road cycleway might as well be removed now the segregated on-road route has been created.
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
Hard to see why motor traffic would need two lanes from 7pm to 7am, but not during the day.
Right-turn lane on Cyclesuperhighway 3
End of the Hyde Park cycleways
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.
There are railings there? How would you know? Let alone chain a bike to them.
Why does this have to be so complicated? Luckily one can just go straight ahead between the bollards.
Bus Stand markings still visible, and new bus stand outside the lane now used as a cycleway.
Former traffic lane now a two-way segregated cycleway
Bus Stop markings still visible, and new bus stop outside the lane now used as a cycleway.

An upside down globe and stainless steel racks.
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

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.
