Can you tell people how to use it Alistair - might not be obvious to all.

For a view of the Salisbury, click here. After that just use your cursor keys to move around (forwards, backwards, spin left/right).
Alternatively enter your postcode to jump directly to where you want to go...

BBC article here.

I 'notice' Google attributes Harringay Green Lanes as part of Tottenham...

A bit of difference here, the map address is showing as Haringey but the photo as Tottenham. Perhaps a campaign for Harringay on Google? (and they still don't show the passage all the way down)

We can play " Spot the illegal estate agents' boards " from the comfort of our own home :-)

Must have been a Thursday afternoon when they did my street, can't see any litter or fly tipping near my house.

Very impressive, if slightly scary from a privacy point of view...

Agree, on both counts. Number plates and children seem to have been blurred out but not adults. The technology would no doubt be of use to house hunters researching an area.

All faces should be blurred though some are recognisable.
All number plates should be blurred though I found some obvious exceptions.
The blurring is done automatically (ie. not involving humans) supposedly though it doesn't appear to be totally successful.

Seems that Google have had to remove some images including one of someone coming out of a sex shop and someone being sick.
