Apparently not. There are apparently 2 junctions in quick sucession. At the first there is a prohibition on turning right, and he actually when left. At the second junction there are no prohibitions and he did a U turn. Hence not illegal.

There are indeed two junctions in quick succession but the truck never got as far as the second one. It's not sensible to comment without checking the actual location. The technology to do this is available to all - https://maps.google.co.uk/?ll=51.5155,-0.070553&am...

Right turns at that junction are banned. Doing so by going to the left of the island in the centre of the frame doesn't make it legal. Any driver doing so, irrespective of the vehicle they are driving, has contravened the prohibition.

On a daily basis CCTV catches people out making similar manoeuvres at locations all across London and the RK gets a NTO with an invitation to line the local authority's or TfL's coffers.

He has turned left at that junction and then done a u-turn. Had he done a right turn he would have gone through where the artic was turning left. Its no different to traffic coming down St Martins Lane getting to the bottom turning left and immediately doing a U-turn or 3 point turn.
