Chinese Embassy, Portland Place W1 heading North
(I realise I have just triggered a GCHQ alert)
If you head North towards Regent's Park (away from the BBC) the light turn red before traffic crosses you. A number of cyclists take this red.
The police (sometimes multiple) outside the embassy have very little to do and will happily pull you if you take this red as the embassy is after the crossing. All they need to do is know the sequence. I recommend that you walk across if you know the light sequence.
