Google street view now covers Brixton

[Shippou-Sensei]

presumably they ran an ocr on it

Flat rectangles with text in, innit

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

the menu board sounds kinda odd


ow is it with shop names n stuff

there must be a size thing to it as well

 

[Fingers]

Lambeth Country Fair is on around the Herne Hill side of Brockwell park so that narrows it down to the 19th July last year or nearabouts

 

[Crispy]

Different bits will be different dates anyway. You can tell because sometimes the weather changes as you go down a road

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

heheh

the facial recognition means they blur out the colonel on the kfc signs

Er, didn't I establish two dates half a dozen posts ago?

This is just mad, walking around Brixton with the sun out Good for us ex-pats .

...my old punchbag is sitting outside my mums, a mate's mum is just going down the shops. I've just walked from Tulse Hill to Brixton, I think I'll carry on to Camberwell.

They've put Amsterdam up too, my daughter was born in this flat, which is all being done up now:

The Elm Park Tavern's curtains are still drawn, so it must have been very early morning when they went past there...

quite possibly but Herne Hill ain't Brixton.

I noticed that too.

And there is no-one sat outside the White Horse. Or Mango Landing.

I didn't check the Hootagoblin though.

My car has all my Glastonbury junk in it still in the pic. Also, you can see my flatmate at the window

[Biddlybee]

how do you get it to work?

figured it out

 

[Crispy]

Have flash installed on your computer, then drag the little orange man onto the map. he sits on top of the zoom control on the left.

How'd you know?

 

[Structaural]

If you zoom all the way out to see all of Britain you can see which cities are featured when you drag the little man. Cardif and Swansea are in there.

No it wasn't, Hancock wasn't at the cinema till 2nd July... the time is about 13:02

(If all pics are taken at the same time)

 

[Biddlybee]

Looks like they're setting up for the country show in this one: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&s....101194&spn=0.011821,0.077248&z=14&iwloc=addr

(which was 18 or 19 July?)

I give up.

I found this view of a SV car reflected in a shop window and look! No driver!

(zoom in)

 

[noriise]

It'd be cool to pin the date right down...

i looked outside the coronet in elephant and castle the sign billed it as august.

infected mushroom were headlining!

 

[teuchter]

I wonder if google are going to keep the old data each time they update street view. Because it'd be quite cool, in fifty or a hundred years' time, to be able to have a wander around early 21st century London.

 

[lozenge]

This is Google we're talking about - I can't imagine them not keeping it. Now that would be a headline - "Google actually deletes data!"
Whether it's available to the public is another question, of course... probably a premium service.
