I broke an elbow under similar circumstances; ped stepped down in front of me and knocked me down. The only difference was that I was sprinting for the green light 100m ahead and the guy stepped down so closely in front of me that he bumped into me before he managed to step two. Serves me right for sticking to the left side of the road..
I cycle a lot in West London and lived in Acton for 2 years now and have to agree with hippy; people step down without looking all over the place. Or worse even, stepping down and walking at you while looking you between the eye. The only difference is that you have more room (and often less traffic) to navigate then in say Oxford street..
