The South Bank is now totally a part of central London, due to the Wheel, Tate Modern etc. joining the RFH/National Theatre. The development of the new American Embassy, Battersea Power Station, and Vauxhall towers meanst that this will intensify.
The politicians and planners need to strategic about this. The area should be the new Amsterdam - totally cycling friendly with minimal car use.
Look at what the road was like today here - a Saturday afternoon.

Would you send your kid out for an enjoyable pootle along this road. As far as I'm concerned, only when they've sorted this road (and the roundabouts) to be commuter and kid cyclling friendly can they talk about banning cycling on the Thames Path. But then anyone wanting to get somewhere in any kind of hurry won't be on it so they won't need to!
