Default are cyclists allowed to cycle the wrong way down a one way street?

Just had a scrap with a cyclist who ran into me outside russell square tube station. I was coming out of tesco's on the other side of the road to the station entrance, with my melon medley and 2 litres of water, looked up the road towards the square... nothing coming... step out & massive bang. My right calf is hurting but I'm still on my feet. There's a cyclist lying in the middle of the road next to his bike with no lights on.

Then he shouts "Why don't you look where you're going you pr**k?"

I lost my temper and stamped on his front wheel a few times, whilst explaining that it's a one way street and that he is a nob. He said he was going to call the police over "criminal damage" so I told him to go away (in other words) and walked off back to my hotel.

Are cyclists allowed to freestyle it or am I in the right?
