Cheers, tbh my recollection is my chain dropped when I was out of the saddle throwing my weight forwards, turning the handlebars and sending me over them. There’s a lot of potholes in the bus lane round there but fewer in the traffic lane where I was. Bike looks mostly ok, just new hoods and bar tape. Hopefully the collarbone should be mostly recovered in a few weeks so could be worse. Think it might be a lesson in slowing down a bit as much as anything else.

Heal up soon. Too bad to suffer this because of a pothole. Did you get details of the witness? Unless you made some kind of severe riding error, you could pursue the highway authority responsible (Transport for London) for damages. Then again, if you don't really know what happened, you may not feel comfortable about that.
