I see no issue with cycling on the pavement, provided you remember that you are in the wrong and always give way, are considerate etc. I've never had any issues with people when I've been on the pavement, and have had quite a few "thank you"s and other nice comments from peds. But then I don't do it much and it's often easier to get off and walk if it's busy.
It's also good to remember that whilst you are in the wrong by cycling on the pavement, a pedestrian has a right to walk along the road.
