Cycles are only allowed in Bus lanes with explicit permission. There should be a blue board at the beginning of the lane with a pictogram of what's allowed, and if applicable operating times.
Here is the bus only bus lane, note the circular sign with red border and a bike in the middle. Round sign = not allowed.
So instead of letting cyclists go safely down that road, they force them round the Holborn gyratory.
Good thinking.
