It looks like Google Street View finally came out in England! It took a while, because things had to be worked out with the “Information Commissioner’s Office,” which required blurring of faces and license plates (which Google software appears to be doing automatically). Blurring wasn’t initially done in the US (although it is now). I find it interesting that the UK, capital of CCTV, was one of the stroppiest countries about Street View.

Highly exciting! I'm sure if you're interested you can poke around and find all sorts of famous stuff in there yourself.
