Is that due to the speed limit though, or what are you getting at?

Not sure, maybe just an observation that there have been three huge incidents since an initiative to slow people down, presumably to make the roads safer, but it looks like it's backfiring. I think people's car rage gets the better of them but unfortunately it's only time until they fuck up big time. I've had a couple of HUGE overtakes carried out on me (in my car) when even I have already been doing more than the 20mph limit myself. One happened this morning in fact.

Seems like driving more slowly could have helped in all of these accidents.

Agreed.

Is the limit actually being enforced, or is it another one of those theoretical 20s you find all over London?

No enforcement, just a couple of speed readouts.

Well... there's your problem. It needs to be enforced until it actually becomes the new normal. Possibly with a redesign of the road too, there are ways to 'psychologically' slow people down as well.
