The BBC reports that the city council of Westminster recently met to discuss the possibility, citing a representative who took great care to emphasize that no decisions have yet been taken: "Local councilors Abbey Road collected the concerns of residents about their the number of tourists in the middle of the road near the crossing and at the peak of the summer season, and indicated several suggestions on the safety of pedestrians and crowd control, "he said. "On the other hand, no proposal received full agreement of the board or its full review." 

In 2010 the British government appointed a crosswalk as a landmark of the town, a status typically reserved for historic buildings. "This crosswalk shaped zebra in London is not a castle or a cathedral." Explained the minister of heritage, John Penrose.
