It's not just 'inmidtown' where this is a problem; private-public space across London is decidedly unfriendly towards cyclists and full of poorly dressed security guards. However, it is not just the security staff who pose a problem; their branding of cyclists as a nuisance (despite any statistical evidence to this end) is hardly helpful, and neither is their control of the street scape when it comes to implementing cyclist's facilities such as bike parking or cycle lanes. I tried to summarise it all on my blog with an article today here:
