London Tonight's Blackfriars Bridge confusion

On Wednesday night ITV1's London Tonight caught up with a story the London SE1 website had brought you on Tuesday morning.

Sadly the story was rather garbled: Ronke Phillips informed viewers that the enclosed lane on the south side of the bridge (pictured above) had been installed recently as a response to the death of Vicki McCreery in May 2004.

The enclosed lane has been there for some years and links the Upper Ground cycle lane with Southwark Street as part of the National Cycle Network.

It is true to say that the lane is disliked by many cyclists and rarely used, not least because it is often covered in broken glass and other debris.
