You should send that to the Warrington Cycle Campaign for their
"Facility Of The Month" page - top work!

I use the segregated cycle lane sections to the west of that location
between the Bedford Way/Tavistock Sq junction and Marchmont St on my way
from Westminster to King's Cross station.

I don't use the section between Marchmont St and Judd St illustrated and
have never seen this nonsense. I can't for the life of me think why that
crossover isn't arranged at the lights on the Judd St junction

Well it is, as a result of the previous one, in that anyone continuing
east along Tavistock Place has to make the reverse move after a few
yards, across the path of cyclists heading west.

The whole assumption seems to be that all cyclists heading east will
turn south down Hunter Street, but I can't see why they should.

No. And since the route continues to the east, via the recently and
expensively rearranged Ampton Street, that can't actually be one of their
assumptions. Which makes the current layout completely inexplicable.

As for why the path has to stay on the north, I'm guessing that it must
be something to do with how one can get on to it at the Tottenham Court
Road end, where it is against the one-way flow of Torrington Place. I
can't remember how one gets to it from Tottenham Court Road, unless
there's a contraflow bike lane there.

There isn't. You cross over TCR, then come down Huntley Street to
Torrington Place. I think. If you're coming from the western end of the
SSL, on New Cavendish Street, that is.
