It's often said that the roads aren't wide enough for cycle lanes.
Green Lanes in Harringay is a good example of this, lots of traffic, mainly one lane in both directions with a southbound bus lane in parts. Pavements are always busy so no space to be taken from there. And loads of cars parked by the side of the road.
If the car parking was removed there'd suddenly be a lot more space. It's the same all over, look at Fitzrovia or Soho, just the same.
