Definitely a dangerous area. I was hit by a car turning left from the square heading towards Tavistock Square. The driver saw an opening and gunned it, completely ignoring the double bike lane and taking me out. I "scorpioned" on the bonnet and my back has never been quite the same. It's seems so often that pedestrians and drivers are completely oblivious to the double lane there. After my accident I never used the Bloomsbury bike lane and haven't had any problems being on the road, drivers just need to be patient, we have every right to use the road there as well.
Glad you to hear you are on the mend Swazine.
