Wow haven't cycled into town for nearly 2 yrs apart from the normal perils of peds cabbies and uber drives the cycling infrastructure caught me out a few times.
Lambeth Rd where you turn onto St Georges st, just before on Lambeth Rd you have a mini cycle bit which has the lights for cyclist then about 10 metres further on proper lights, light was green for the cyclist but red on the proper which I only noticed as the bus was going across that caught me off guard. Trying to get off Blackfriars bridge to go towards Canon Street missed the cycle turn off mainly due to a cyclist on a Abbey Bike who had stopped to make a call.
Shouted at twice by cab drives for not being in the cycle lane, both times the cab's had stopped to drop off or pick up passengers in the cycle lane and I'd gone around the them only for them to drive off at the same time.
Don't miss it at all, well may just a small bit does get the heart going.
