This has been shared/discussed on LCC group forums today and Jenny Jones seems to have taking up the matter:

"I've just been fined £50 for exiting the cycle lane 10m before reaching the
pedestrian crossing. Absolutely furious. Have it on camera and will upload
later but just wanted to let people know operation Safeway is back and it's
worse than last time...."
And to Jenny...
"Thank you for offering to look into this case. This occurred during the
morning rush hour of Thursday 3rd July and was recorded on my helmet
camera, the video footage (up until I give out my personal details) has
been uploaded here http://youtu.be/HraAA4W2AJc
. I was usingthe shared
pavement/cycle path alongside new Kent Road, known as the elephant and
castle bypass, immediately adjacent to the Heygate estate.
The path is very narrow compared to the rest of the pavement, is poorly
surfaced compared to the pavement and has a telephone box in the middle
of it. Despite this, I stuck to it for most of its length, exiting it
just before the light controlled crossing. As shown in the picture
below, this area is sign posted as shared use for cycling and walking."
Ridiculous jobs-worth policing.
