I took this up with my local councillors who in turn took it up with the council. They received this response
“Thank you for your enquiry.
As the person on the cycling forum states the council has a reporting
service for antisocial behaviour such as engine idling, it can be accessed here: http://www.islington.gov.uk/reportASB
Anti-social behaviour | Islington Council
Anti-social behaviour issues)
http://www.islington.gov.uk
or by ringing 020 7527 7272. We encourage the public to use this service at the time an incident is occurring so that it can be dealt with right away.On all match days compliance officers are present and deal with a wide range of issues including vehicle idling.
If a report is made then it can be followed up by officers who are present in the area at the time. Equally, if relevant details of any vehicle are passed on then it can be followed up at a later date if officers are unable to witness the idling vehicle but it is much harder to take action.
If a vehicle is witnessed as idling, then in line with current legislation, the driver will be asked to turn their engine off and if they do not either turn the engine off or drive away a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) of £20 is served. Officers are looking in to options to change this to make it easier to fine drivers who idle, issue PCNs (Penalty Charge Notices) and widen the numbers of officers who can tackle idling vehicles.
There are also some legal exemptions to the idling rules. Most pertinent to this location would be leaving an engine running to power equipment, this would be things such as a wheel chair lift or something required for trading, for example ice cream vans often need to run to power their equipment.
If there is anything else I can help you with please let me know.
Kind regards,
Andrew

The insurance press is reporting the following:
"Lloyd’s CEO John Neal is taking a leave of absence after being involved in a road traffic collision while out cycling over the weekend"
No further information is yet available.
Neal, who was appointed CEO of Lloyd's in 2018, has ridden some high profile charity rides. I very much hope that he makes a full and rapid recovery. I also hope that an accident involving such a high profile "mamil" can help push forward the agenda of safe cycling.
