For the edification of urc, I've put up a few pictures of the cycle
lane in question. I happened to be in London yesterday walking along
that bit of the Thames...

Just realised I've cycled that loads of times and didn't think twice about it
(I had Blackwall Tunnel ingrained in my mind for some reason). Like the
cyclist just visible in the flowers photo I stay in the left hand bus lane
until I am well past the solid separator before moving right into the straight
ahead cycle lane. By the time I move over, all the buses that are going to
swap over will have.

Mind you, maybe without my helmet now I will be simpering in the gutter there.
