6 foot 6 inch width limit on the Albert Bridge - and most vehicles seem to be about 6 foot 5 inches wide, but determined to get through.

No Entry Except Cycles

Exhibition Road shared space - or van parking?

Exhibition Road's shared space.

Kenway Road - useful pedestrian route towards Earls Court.

Longridge Road. Great to see a contraflow cycle lane here - but it could easily have been wider rather than being a car door lane. The general cycling environment here near Warwick Road and Cromwell Road is very hostile.

Bus stop on new 'shared space' on Exhibition Road - actually a fairly clear roadway to the east and pedestrian space to the west.

Dramatically narrowed entrance to Eardley Crescent.

Attractive if not especially useful cut-through.

Raised crossing, giving pedestrians apparent priority (but probably not priority in the legal sense) outside Sloane Square tube.
