This roundabout can get mega congested in the evening and is super popular with cyclists. A priority straight on for cyclists would be insta grid lock at rush hour. (They should really be focusing on reducing central London motor traffic but that's a different debate).
Also, is this safer? It only takes one HGV to not understand the Tiger crossing and you've got another squishing.

A cycle under would be great here. And I'm sure the room is there too.
The Dutch would have done it already. -
Would it? Even on the busiest bits of the E-W tracks there are sizeable gaps. Cycling is so efficient that gaps appear even in heavy traffic.
And delaying a motor route into central London is somewhat good policy.

You have a priority crossing, adjacent to the ped's Zebra, known as a Tiger crossing, which is a Zebra for cyclists. There's one just North of London Fields, here: https://goo.gl/maps/YJDqiFKb8uD2, they are very new/rare though.
The sketch is a preliminary drawing, a complete scheme was apparently ready to go, according to Gilligan, who would know I guess.
Here is one that has got the go ahead in CAmbridge: http://road.cc/content/news/211156-cambridge-get-its-first-true-dutch-roundabout
