  3. Seems to be photoshopped after all. Another picture of the same plaque shows no camera. Especially not one on a post with a roadsign:

    1. Those photo-shoppers are cunning, on the other hand the UK has been adding a lot of those cameras in the last few years.

      I doubt even with the Tamalanche this post got we have someone living in London who could check this out and report back.

    2. Last time I was in the UK was in '99. It was at Victoria Station that I saw the first of many 'Smile! You're on 24h CCTV'-stickers.
      Was lucky not to get arrested or fined for the multi-tool I carried around and into the Imperial War Museum.
