Okay, i had a look last night, and what it's got is a no entry sign on
each side, an island to the left (as i go in) and the cycle lane to the
left of that; the lane is segregated, there being a non-segregated conflow
lane on the other side (which is probably solid-lined, although the road
surface is in such a state that it's not clear). However, there isn't any
sort of sign indicating that bikes can go in.


But the lefthand no-entry sign is on the island?


No. It's on the pavement to the left of the cycle lane. I knew i should
have drawn a diagram! Seen from the other side of the Farringdon Road,
starting and ending on the pavement, it goes:

no entry sign - kerb down - cycle lane away - island - main lane towards -
cycle lane towards - kerb up - no entry sign

There's a pedestrian crossing across the mouth of the whole thing, but i
don't think that matters.
