London’s Embankment from Westminster to Blackfriars (and the rest of CS3 on other roads) added a bike lane by removing car capacity despite it being full every rush hour. The road as a whole has higher throughput now.

Oh, I recently rode through there the other day for the first time as I went from East London to Hyde Park! It was really nice to have a dedicated cycle way like that.


A safe bike route from SW to NE, e.g. Fulham to Shoreditch, would be lovely.


Kensington and Chelsea don't like segregated bike lanes. One upcoming bike lane of CS3 quality is from the borough border (Olympia) towards Heathrow.


That's great! Generally takes a lot of political capital to do something like that, so good work London.
