Tom, I did not realise that, and stand corrected.
When I go that way on the bike, I take the bus lane then the first right
into Horsleydown (*) and turn left to get to a set of lights which is
opposite to the red track on your picture.
Cars must turn left at those lights, but cycles can cross the central
divider and take a right turn onto the bridge.
This is not feasible of course with a large number of cyclists.
(*) Horseleydown = horse lie down. The place where carters coming into
the City would feed and water their horses before coming over London Bridge.
