Thanks that’s brilliant!
When I first visited London I did indeed cross that zebra crossing 3 consecutive times
Could see the waiting drivers looking bored, thinking get the fuck on with it so I can continue my journey

Grin In the summer in usual times it's hilarious.

But there's something relaxing watching people walking their dogs and the odd car going by now. I notice Deliveroo are very busy. Grin

Extra points for having someone risk their life to take a pic. Grin

I am not local, DB is and he says he avoids if at all possible. It would drive me mad. Grin

A few years ago a Mumsnetter went down there with her child and waved to us all on here. Those were the days. sigh.

Well that has helped us pass 20 minutes Grin

DH keeps shouting STAND FURTHER BACK at the photographers. I'm surprised how many people are there to get a photo.

Oh did I miss some non essential tourists @TFSRM? Darnit.

It's really nice now, dark and the buses going back and forth. very relaxing to watch.

I am living vicariously through a webcam focussed on a zebra crossing-that's what it's come to.

You and me both.

Can I recommend www.windy.com/?-43.892,171.288,8 for endless entertainment of the webcam variety?
