I agree, except the cycle box on London Road to Elephant and Castle next to the old tube station where drivers always tried to turn into cyclists going straight ahead.
And the cycle lane end right before the bus stop, cue people getting stucked/almost squashed by buses coming into the stop as they exit the cycle lane (on Borough High Street and Southbound Newington Butt).
Even with that, it's still an improvement.

+1 I'm really starting to like the new E&C infrastructure too (my usual journey is going from Kennington to Newington Causeway), with two caveats.
1) Peds sometimes still wander out onto the cycle path behind the bus stops - but this is easily dealt with by not blasting through at full speed.
2) If you hit the crossing over St. George's Rd. at the wrong time there's a significant wait.
Overall, though, from a personal perspective I think it's an improvement.

i really don't see what the fuss is all about. there's a nifty set of clearly marked backroads in that get you from E&C kennington to southwark bridge with a minimum amount of bother. The Cycle lanes that cut through E&C are also pretty well laid out and minimise your contact with potential danger relatively well. Or is this a VC issue in which case i'm out.
