Is there a chance to obtain CCTV?
This is key. @Velocio is someone already on this for you? You'll need to identify and public or private CCTV from the scene and make a subject access request under the data protection act to all the companies get the footage. They'll need a time, location, and description of you, and will probably charge you £10 for the privilege.
I'd get this done sooner rather than later, and wouldn't rely on the police to do it as, errr, it's admin.

No-one is on it.
I won't be in a state to start doing this until next week.
Is anyone able to help out here?
The accident occurred precisely here:
https://goo.gl/maps/U7UwDbVG61T2There was a parked card in the marked bay, I was on the outside of that and the car that hit me side-swiped me by cutting in as he was overtaking. It felt very deliberate, he missed the parked car so close that I was scissored between the front corner of the parked car and the side of the dark hatchback that was overtaking. The passenger side wing mirror was just in front of my front wheel at the time that the car made contact with first the bike, and then me.
I believe the hatchback is approx 5-7 years old and either dark blue or black. The wing mirrors are distinctive, quite square, whilst the bonnet is quite low. It's a small hatchback, the driver will definitely have heard the impact, if not felt it.
It happened outside approx 105 Stamford Street, SE1 9NH.
The car had approached from behind, coming from Blackfriars Bridge direction, and we were both travelling Westward.
The driver sped off after momentarily slowing and definitely knew what had happened, he swung a left on Cornwall Road so as to not be stuck in the line of traffic leading towards the IMAX. He knew what he had done and was seeking an escape route.
My phone shows I called my friend to collect the bike at 20:17. The incident must have occurred at approx 20:14.

Man, heal up fast. I am gutted for you. Is there a chance to obtain CCTV? That asshole should get locked up.
