As a regular commuter who cycles through Surrey and south London, I must say that most cycle lanes in London are a joke. They are either shared bus lanes (the good case, albeit you might get in trouble when multiple buses queue one after another) or half-a-meter wide ones, where cars are allowed to cross your lane from both sides. Sometimes using the car lane just seems safer than that.

There's some good ones in central London. The C2, C3, C6, etc. Wide segregated routes, fully signalised at intersections so turning traffic doesn't cross the cycle lane, etc. I'm not so familiar with South London but some boroughs are better at doing cycling than others. eg: Hackney and Camden very good. Kensington & Chelsea very bad.

I agree -- there is a lot of variability depending on boroughs. Hope they will extend the good practices more and more.
