According to a EuroTest press release of 24 November 2008 www.eurotestmobility.com/images/filelib/PRESS%20RELEASE...
(132 KB pdf file) this is the safest of 215 tested pedestrian crossings in 17 major European cities.

"London, on the other hand, boasts not only the winning pedestrian crossing (located close to Westminster, at the intersection of Tothill Street and Storey’s Gate) but indeed six out of the top ten rated crossings. ... Good visibility by day and night, use of orange beacons on luminous poles and crossing islands, good accessibility, the absence of obstructions, clear information, good road markings and good sight distance between drivers and pedestrians thanks in part to absence no parked cars in the vicinity of the crossing were all features of these winning crossings."
