Fair enough. I think I've done it once to like 3 people waiting. Obviously when there's a big line of people it's insanely rude. But generally when you're fixed acceleration is much greater and carrying speed to the bottom of that road isn't hard. Or top depending on how you go. Maybe I'm just a dick.
Really doesn't surprise me. From also going to a pool club near there regularly, I can tell you crossing there is a bit of a fucking nightmare. It's very hard to tell what the cyclist signal is and then once you cross its hard to tell where traffic is coming from. I do feel like they ruined that junction. Obviously you can just wait for the green man to cross, but most pedestrians aren't that patient as the green man occurs for 20 seconds every 2 minutes. This is at southwark station. It's particularly bad for people crossing in front of the TfL building.

Yes, I'd say it is. Especially if the people at the front have been waiting there for ages and you have no idea how fast they are (or they've already overtaken you when it's safe to do so). It's basically just advanced shoaling for bellends.
Oh, saw a cyclist/pedestrian incident last night which resulted in cyclist pushing pedestrian in a 'pre-cursor to a fight kind of way'.
Lots of pedestrians on that stretch seem to either only look one way, or just don't look at all. Terrifying.
