Brian Norman's correct. You can already tour the streets of London virtually at www.seety.co.uk. However, having used the service at this site, I look forward to Google's offerings. The server on the Seety end is probably getting a lot of traffic right now; clicking from image to image is slow-going. Also, the imagery is low resolution like some of Google's imagery in the U.S. (i.e. that in Los Angeles), so if you enlarge the pictures, they're a little blurry.

Still, it's satisfying my craving to "see" London from my computer chair in the States. With the economy going down the tubes, I may not be able to visit there any time soon. Hopefully, Seety's and Earthware's street view mapping will be useful for Londoners and those visiting .... for real. I certainly like how you can click where you want to view from a large map. Other non-Google street view sites, like mapjack.com, everyscape.com and locaview.com (Japanese) provide very limited views of the maps, forcing you to do much more scrolling than you should have to.
