But loafing on the junctionâs pavements the other day underlined for me how spoiled its streetscape is by relentless road traffic, when the junction could be a place to linger and admire the handsome buildings there in relative tranquility.
Part of the attraction of the Cityâs thinking, which is expected to secure formal approval from its Streets and Walkways committee on 30 November, is that it seeks to promote and equitably reconcile the needs of walkers, bike-riders and bus-passengers - the three modes of street transport London should encourage - within a vision of Bank junction as a place where people want to be, rather than one they simply want get through as fast as possible.
