I think it's the right turn, Goodman's Yard into Mansell Street E1 going Towards Tower Bridge (north to south); right on the apex of what is a fairly fast and tight bend you're pitted against a drainage cover that is at a strange angle so the elongated holes are paralel to the direction that your travelling in! In effect during the middle part of your turn you go over those holes with your front wheel getting sucked in.
Not sure if that makes sense but at night time, it is a terrible accident waiting to happen.
