Looks extremely dangerous. Sorry, just kidding.

 
To some, it does look extremely dangerous. It depends on one's level of
knowledge and level of courage.
 

Doesn’t look particularly dangerous though probably tedious, while I can
and do ride in similar situations and did lot of the Embankment was like
this pre segregation, ie busy stop start traffic and so on, the bike lane
is much more chilled experience, but being a confident and fast cyclist I
used it pre segregation,and wasn’t concerned about risks, though clearly
they are now lower.

But yes broadly speaking that sort of roads are rideable by some cyclists
though tends to be fairly narrow type.
