This lorry is illegally stopped. It fufills none of the exemptions to the 1988 RTA section 21. Not only that it's incredibly dangerous.

I end up stopping for the walker because I'm not sure what to do about the lorry parked up in the cyclelane. Eventually I move up and pass slowly into the oncoming lane despite not being able to see, as I listen very hard.

Stopping or Parking in Cycle Lanes
Highway Code Rule 240 (backed up in law)
You MUST NOT stop or park on a tram or cycle lane.

And the 1988 Road Traffic Act, section 21.
