Do you need to indicate in a right turn only lane?

Yes. You give a right signal for every right turn, including from one of two turn lanes.

Which right turn lane should you use if you turn left straight after?

The left of the two, because it brings you out on the left side of the new road.

What it means

Turning right from one of two right turn lanes: what is the rule?

Two yellow cars wait side by side in a pair of right turn lanes, each lane painted with a white right turn arrow, under a green light. Their two yellow paths never cross. The car on the left of the pair swings wider and lands in the left lane of the new road, then heads into the side street just past the corner. The car on the right finishes in the right lane.

What to do

1
Signal right early, even though the lane is marked for turning.
2
Choose the left of the two lanes if your next move is a left turn soon after.
3
Follow your curve round and finish in the matching lane, leaving the car beside you its space.
