"Shibuya" crossing is very usual and is called as "Scramble Crossing" in Japan. Even around my local satation, we have some small Scramble crossings.

However, road and pavement design in London is much defferent from Japanese, I'm afraid another kind of confusion might happen.

When I had been in London for some weeks, I was impressed with the difference of design concept of the road. Road and pavement in london is much protective for people from vihcles while people in Tokyo are exposed to dangerous of the car traffic.

Shibuya style crossing itself is a nice system. However, I don't know what will happen in London. I can be much better than expected and could be little bit worse.
