A LANE of traffic in Camden High Street has been fenced off for pedestrians to help social distancing during the coronavirus crisis.

New barriers have been erected by Transport for London, alongside signs encouraging people to keep two metres apart. The measure comes amid concerns that many of London’s pavements are simply not wide enough for people to follow the guidelines.
