London's best new cycleway?

everything in these images is going to be pedestrianised under these plans!

here are the plans to pedestrianise an arm of Piccadilly Circus

Westminster council announcing a huge plan for the West End - includes pedestrianising the bottom end of Regent Street, Coventry Street, and another arm of Trafalgar Square, Picadilly Circus rebuild plus cycle lanes up Regent Street, and quite a bit more

Camden is proposing to add segregation to the contraflow cycle lane on Newton Street in Holborn. Will also remove parking to make travelling in opposite direction more comfortable. Should improve this short section of Cycleway 52. consultation here

I like the use of rubber bolt-down kerbs - they're as good as a proper kerb, better than wands, but cheap and quick and easy to install vs full works. So hopefully will mean the scheme is delivered a bit quicker than some of Westminster's other plans.

Westminster council is proposing to add protection to the cycle lanes on Westbourne Terrace. Junction treatment looks a bit ropey but will be a substantial new protected cycleway and crucially sorts out crossing under Westway very nicely. Consultation here

Harrow council is consulting on a new design for its proposed cycleway in Pinner after push-back from residents on the original design previously consulted on. The new design features a two-way cycle track on the eastern side of Marsh Road

Westminster council is proposing to allow two-way cycling on Blomfield Road, which will improve links around Paddington and remove a gap in the cycle route along the canal

Brent Council is consulting on a new walking and cycling bridge over the Grand Union canal at Alperton, linking a new development to the towpath and shops towards Park Royal

Islington Council is consulting on the design of a small proposed low-traffic neighbourhood at Annette Road, just off Holloway Road

Camden Council is consulting on permitting two-way cycling on the one-way streets at Lincoln's Inn Fields, Whetstone Park, Greville Street, Saffron Hill, and Kirby Street. Consultations here and here
