Just seen an announcement on the official WNBR London webpage that they received notification less than 36 hours before the ride was due to take place that the riders won't be able to congregate at Forum Magnum Square. This is likely to cause chaos if they try to enforce it. The message to the organises came from the manager of County Hall Apartments, a building actually outside the square itself where many riders gather to take photos and such, so I'm not sure if he actually has any authority to enforce something like that. The building behind the lady in this photo is County Hall Apartments.
Also, after 22 years of supporting this event, St Thomas' Hospital are no longer allowing riders to use their toilets during the Forum Magnum stop.
