A number of pedestrian crossings across London are to be reprogrammed to have the “green man” signal showing unless a vehicle is approaching. The change will be made to 18 crossings, in locations including Bishopsgate, Smithfield, Richmond and Tower Hamlets, in order to make the capital a “walkable city”. The plans, announced on Thursday by Transport for London, build on an initiative in 2018 that saw five crossings trial the so-called “green.

REMAINS from a Tyburn River prehistoric settlement could be unearthed when an entire block in Mayfair is bulldozed, archaeologists predict.
Planning chiefs on Tuesday night approved GrosÂvenor Propertiesâ appÂlication to demolish a large triangle site in Mayfair spanning Davies Mews, South Molton Lane and Brook Street, sparing the façades.
It will be replaced by a nine-storey block of offices, restaurants, 33 flats, 22 private and 11 âaffordableâ and a hotel.
The scheme has won broad support from Mayfair neighbourhood groups but there were objections from Victorian Society, the Georgian Group and Historic England.
