Best London junctions during Rush Hour

I Need to get some film of busy traffic in a couple of week’s time – for a project on Cycling and Editing. I was guessing central London morning and evening rush hours would be the obvious choice. I want/need various footage (good and bad cycling practice, good and bad driving) which I’m pretty confident I’ll see a lot of anywhere. Trafalgar Square, Knightsbridge, Hyde Park Corner, Cambridge Circus and around St Pauls and The Stock Exchange all sprung to mind – are there any other recommendations for busy or mental junctions, and really bad pinch points etc.

Any of the bridges. The superhighways are very busy. The city is a good place to go.

I'm sure I replied to this yesterday. The Cut between the Young Vic and Evans has pinchpoints, speed bumps and tables and carries a lot or bikes during rush hour. You'll see lots of people aiming for the same bit of road. Because of the buildouts you could film straight down the road.

Entering Trafalgar Square from the Mall in the morning is a cracker - cars and cycllists ignoring red lights to 'converge' with traffic coming from the right who are on a green light.

Turning right onto London Bridge after coming up from Tooley Street, cyclists coming up on the inside of vehicles which are turning left whilst they are wanting to turn right!

The list goes on and on.....

The Hammersmith wheel of fortune is always fun in rush hour.

south side of tower bridge where the road narrows to one lane is a busy pinch point with loads of cyclists.
