It's a moving traffic offence. A policeman has to witness a car deliberately driving into the cycle box after the light has gone red. I don't believe there has ever been a prosecution.
I think the 20mph limit argument is a red herring. I'd rather see whole swathes of london backstreets completely closed to motor vehicles and turned into cycleways, giving cyclists direct routes, free of motor traffic, to all parts of the city, and leaving cars to 'zoom' along the major arteries at their 7mph average.
