Sorry, just to be clear, I'm not talking about the junction, I don't RLJ into oncoming traffic, it's just a filter. I could get off, on to the pavement, walk a few metres and remount I suppose, but that wouldn't give me that extra time to get ahead of the traffic up to the top of camden town.
I used to ride up Eversholt street and then get straight into the second lane on the Hight Street and stay there in primary so I was in a (relatively) good position for going straight on by Delancey Street. These days on my commute (Covent Garden to Haverstock Hill) I avoid the entire stretch by going Somers Town/Royal College Street/Prince of Wales Road. A bit slower but much more relaxing.
As mentioned, as you approach Parkway it's also bedlam with a lot of buses trying to get from the kerb to whichever lane they need at the lights. The entirety of Camden Hight Street needs a complete rethink, not just Mornington Crescent end.

And if you think this one isn't wincingly ugly enough, be sure to check out their other abominations.
"wincingly ugly"?! I think that is one of the better looking bikes I've seen produced recently.
Their other designs are pretty nasty but that one definitely isn’t.

I've got cover with E&I for a Condor. Not got details to hand but about £150pa for ~£1500 bike. Not had cause to claim but they were the cheapest out there by a good amount when I was researching it.
