I got similarly wiped out the other week on Streatham High St by some woman turning off across the front of a van while i cruised down the inside. Got sent straight over the bonnet but fortunately landed in an empty side street and only got bloody knees (helmet and gloves to the rescue!). Front wheel though was tacoed. The woman was pretty nice (more shocked then me i think) and drove me and the bike down to HH cycles and paid for a new wheel then and there!
It was my first big crash in London, got away with it, but has made me far more paranoid about speeding down the inside.
