Click on any camera to see how quiet the streets are. There's a minute or two delay but it makes for compulsive and eerie viewing.

Ooh...thanks

QuimJongUn · 28/03/2020 15:53

I've just wasted a good two hours looking at this! Just as well there's fuck all else to do...

Thank you for sharing, fascinating!

Amazing! Thankyou for sharing.

I'm just looking out of the window!

First camera I looked at - old lady, walking stooped from left to right, young couple come towards her and walk right by practically shoulder-to-shoulder. Plenty of room for them to have kept their distance. :-(

Hyde Park Corner deserted on a Saturday afternoon?! God, that’s sort of given me the chills.

Thank you, though, OP. I’ve found it really interesting.

@ItsGoingTibiaK first one I looked at was the road I worked on 10 years ago - completely empty apart from two police officers and a jogger. The jogger actually squeezed past the police to get by! He could've easily just ran into the road, there's not a car in sight.

It's especially eerie for it being a Saturday afternoon, isn't it.

I've never, ever seen Piccadilly Circus this quiet, even on my way home from a night out at 5am!

Amazing and eerie

Bit 28 Days Later .

They must have filmed that about 5.30 on a summer morning or something though I know that with permission parts of London will be closed off for movies.

Loved this, thanks

pluiedeprintemps · 28/03/2020 17:47

thankyou

sleepwhenidie · 28/03/2020 17:49

I think MN traffic from here has crashed it!

Whoops! Move along folks, nothing to see here...

QuimJongUn · 28/03/2020 18:15

Working fine for me... Here's a not at all spooky shot of Trafalgar Square on a Saturday evening to prove it!

Very eerie

Binterested · 28/03/2020 19:46

It never looks like this Sad

Madcats · 29/03/2020 08:31

Oh I am going to waste so much time watching this!

From my time working in the City I seem to remember there were quite a few little caretakers' flats. It must be especially eerie for the few people that do live centrally.

Camden High Street on Sunday afternoon. Bonkers.

I was wondering what those people were doing then I realised it was the queue for Lidl!

Eery.

permana · 29/03/2020 18:37

Wow.
Thanks for this op.
Fascinating to see how many buses are running....when the streets are empty.

Smellbellina · 29/03/2020 18:40

First one I looked at was just ambulances and a police car! 😱

ArriettyJones · 29/03/2020 18:43

And they’re called “jam cams” on the URL!

Ironic and, yes, eerie.
