• Sounds like there are many "on here" who share the Battersea Park dice with death then! As soon as the evenings get dark I go across Albert Bridge instead. Not sure if there is anything that can be suggested to help in terms of road changes... Even a little traffic island thing to hide downstream from would help. At least then you'd have worry less about vehicles accelerating towards your back.

    Albert Bridge is ok, but that stretch of the Chelsea Embnkment always feels a bit fume-choked. Also the pinch-point at the south end of Albert Bridge is properly shit. That was the location of the worst bit of yeah-I-can-see-you-there-and-I've-almost-taken-you-out-but-I-don't-give-a-shit driving I've ever encountered in London.

    A traffic island on the turn into the park from Chelsea Bridge would be soooooo good.

    I cross the park from Battersea bridge to the roundabout at the SE corner (or vice versa). This time of year, more hazards inside the park than at the exits. Dogs in ridiculously long leads, whole families on recumbents they can't steer etc.

    Not just in the summer. My one and only off in London was due to a dog running into my front wheel a few months back.
