That must've happened in the last two hours because it wasn't there when I checked earlier. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/7407222/Google-Streetview-to-cover-every-UK-road.html Edit: I'm not actually seeing this on Google Maps although it's showing up in Google Earth.

Are you looking at Google Maps or Google Earth?

It went live yesterday evening (see Telegraph article linked above). I've worked out how to use it on Google Maps. On the left hand side of the satellite image is a slider to zoom in and out. Immediately above the slider is an orange person. You can drag the person onto a location on the map to see the street view. Drag the street view photo to see 360 degrees.

Strange, I could swear that looks like John Terry's car parked outside my house?
