Trust me, if the Tube (or anything else) would have gotten us to the wedding, that’s what we would have done. But that was a one-off. Any other time in Europe I was on mass transit. But that’s always been in cities.
Boston was even somewhat congested in 1897. This pic was taken at Scollay Square. No, it wasn’t taken by me. 
I think you meant they were on the correct side in the UK.
My guess is that people drive and walk in the same side of the sidewalk and street. While in Tokyo I noticed that most people walked on the left, the same side they drive on. I wonder if it’s the same in the UK. Most people walk and drive on the right in the US.
One easy to find out. Here is the street cam from Earth Cam, “Abbey Road” where the Beatles Crossed and was photographed for the Abbey Road Album Cover…
I would not hold your breath looking for Paul or Ringo… L oL . .

Umm, I guess I will be the one to state the obvious, jtsanders said walk in the same side of the street.. You posted a pic of people crossing the street, how does that have anything to do or prof as to which side of the street people walk on??..

What you say, didn’t you click on the link, it shows Live Traffic Camera footage and the recorded images from the last 24-hours, so depending when you look at the link you can see the various times of day, morning, noon, and night, and you will see the folks walking down the sidewalks, right side, left side and even in the middle.
The picture of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road was for the youngsters who do not know the Album or the Group…
Look again and you will see the Brits may drive on the Left side but do not necessarily walk on the Left…
Some of us just don’t click on links .

I looked at it for a while and saw nothing but Abbey Road. There was also a statement about video feed problems.
Read again, I didn’t mention the link, only the pic as a reference… lol

I traveled all over the world for my job. I found that it took me about two weeks to adjust from driving on the right side of the road to driving on the left side of the road, and at least a week back in the US to adjust back to driving on the right. During the transitions, travel with me was exciting.
Google Maps was a game changer in countries where I could not read the street signs (e.g. Japan, Korea). Driving on the left and trying to follow a map was nuts. It is a wonder that I never hurt anyone.

Where I drove in Japan (Tanegashima) signs were also in English. Lots of English speaking visitors though.
How many years old is this? My screen is too small. At any rate it’s not what side you walk on, it’s what side you pass oncoming pedestrians on. Right left dance. I e found there is no clear answer.
A relative of my wife though had spent some time in the UK. When he came home he made the mistake of looking for traffic in the wrong direction. It was his last mistake. As we learned in 4th grade, stop, look, and listen, and look both ways.
