Although people driving cars are not in my lane to begin with, notice the state of the cyclelane. Not worth using and I'm constantly thinking about buses shooting up behind me.
Then notice the way people driving can pull into the main roadspace, quite happy to sit blocking the bus lane. And parked vehicles on the pavement, make sure you ride outside the door zone, which is bigger for lorries.
At the second lights, cars do drift into your lane without signalling or looking. Be aware this could happen and constantly plan an exit route. And it may not happen right away as people can change their minds from going straight on at any time.
After the Coldhams Lane lights a narrow cyclelane eventually appears. This has its uses in stationary traffic, although is less helpful when it's moving.
As I'm turning right, I look and move in behind a van at the right time. Alternatively, you can go underneath the roundabout. This is nicely away from motor traffic but is a pain of ramps going the wrong way, tight blind corners, and difficulty working out where to go when down there.
I stick to my lane all the way round and stop at the lights just before exiting (unlike the car inside me).
