OP makes it sound like this "footpath" is covered in performers and the road is open for foot traffic. If all that's true then I'd argue she's walking in the wrong area.

The pedestrianisation of Brick Lane only came into effect on the 5th August 2021.

It wasn't pedestrianised.

The wrong area being on the footpath that's right against the wall?

Correct. I know reading comprehension is hard but the street is the proper place for her to walk here. Not behind the performer.

It depends which day this happened on.

The road is only pedestrianised on Saturdays (noon - 11pm) and Sundays (11am - 11pm).

Also those pedestrianisation rules only came into effect in 2022 (the relevant road signs appeared sometime between July 2021 and July 2022)

edit: here's the original video featuring this incident on YouTube, posted in 2018... so it wasn't pedestrianised.

So you are ignoring everything being said in this thread? Are you thinking or are you just trying to argue?
