Legally, it appears so, and is certainly the case in I think Hackney where they've been doing it already. It makes sense, because the onewayness was never to control the behaviour of the cars within the street, only to prevent cars from entering the street from the wrong end (and therefore control the flow patterns on the wider-area street network). Most onewayness in these areas are anti-rat-run measures, which is why they are increasingly becoming seen as inappropriate for cyclists to also be prevented from going down them.
