Hate: Covent Garden. Having lived in the West End for a bit, I normally avoid it like the plague even as a pedestrian. As a cyclist it's even more ghastly thanks to pointless one-way systems, idiot peds and their attendant black cabs.
Love: Regents Park, Hyde Park, Victoria Park et al. People in London just don't realise how fortunate they are to have these, compared to the tiny municipal "recs" typical of other towns.
Hate: The Old Street/Gt Eastern Street complex. Seemingly designed for the purpose of getting cyclists hurt. The wider sections of pavement in GES even prevent safe filtering past slow traffic and guarantee yet more bonehead manoeuvres from the motor traffic.
