It's on the list of go to complaints for motorists to make in an attempt to oppose cycle lanes being introduced, signed properly or anything that will just help them work well. Weirdly when adding metal barriers along country lanes or extra lanes onto places this isn't an issue.
E+C is going to have lots of money spent on it in the next few years as they build stuff and I guess rebuild the shopping center eventually, I'd guess the westfields people have an eye on it among others who build stuff like that but with limited parking in the area and being on the edge of the congestion charge making the parking free isn't a good idea so I can't see the shopping center ever getting proper investment. Even then I just think giving up on areas isn't good and most of the time an area being a dump can be turned around once you break that view of it, E+C biggest problem in that respect is the number of lives claimed by drivers in the area.

thankfully the lack of hi-viz pedestrian warning shouty people at E&C worked fine today - I breezed through.
I think I've worked out the lack of blue paint - technically the blue paint is for the Cycle Superhighways as opposed to mere cycle paths. and I think northbound CS7 turns left just before E&C along an alleyway. felt like sherlock when I got that.
that is amazing. especially when we're talking about elephant and castle, which isn't exactly a beauty spot
