Google Maps street view now includes some parts (cities only so far?) of the UK.

Google Maps (street view) showing Corstorphine War Memorial

In the above example, some unsuspecting pedestrian is central to the view.

Yeah, was checking this out earlier, I had seen it on the news.
The google camera cars were in town last summer, so it's not taken too long, my neighbours in it, and a pal of mine coming out the pub ha ha!

Thanks for the link ADP, I'd seen it on the news but couldn't find it on Google!

I couldn't even find it on News websites reporting its launch.

Cheers

I had to ban myself from viewing it at work - I nearly got nothing done yesterday.

You can see a load of my work colleagues going in to our office in the morning.
