Never seen the point of having Park Lane like that. It's a 3 lane 40mph highway that just takes you from one traffic jam to another. At least southbound there's a bus lane to ride in, on the northbound cyclists are made to feel distinctly unwelcome. By laying a road out that way the planners are effectively telling the motorists "this is your domain" and encouraging them to behave this way.
