Only one thing needs to change, and that is the law. Are we so thick over here that we can't see the advantages of the Dutch, German, Danish et al where nobody on a bike feels in the least danger, everyone is relaxed, no helmets and it's spot the fat person unlike here where it's spot the thin one.
The politicians are for the most part completely ignorant of the transport system in Europe because all they ever see is the inside of a limousine, and if they are aware they are in a minority, too afraid to speak out because it would be a vote loser.
I don't live in London, but I know this, if things are to change, every cyclist in the UK needs to get involved, if they did it would be bloody difficult to ignore.
