I'm using an old version of Google Earth and Street View to see if I can match the street paint shown in the Q photo with the London Eye. For some reason I cannot screen-capture the "imagery dates" given on the images, but I can see the date on mouse-over, so have typed the imagery dates in the photos, as well as in the file names.

 

In Q's photo, there are two lanes of traffic on the left, widening to three, including the parking lane. On the right, there are three lanes of oncoming traffic including the left-turn lane. You can tell there is an island below the stoplights in the foreground. There is also an island in-between the opposing lanes, and you can see a small part of the bicycle that is painted in the crosswalk.

 

The latest photos I found in Street View dated to Nov. 2017, at which time there was a large construction project going on the left side of the street. The islands and lanes don't match the Q picture.

There was another Street View "path" in the area that dated to July of 2014, and this picture fits the street design and paint of the Q picture. You can see both islands, as well as the bicycle painted in the crosswalk. I did not see anything that dated to 2015 or 2016.

If you look at the street paint on the left side near the center divider, it looks a lot like "StreetPaint03_May 2012.jpg" which dates to that date. I count seven lines in both photos, and you can also see the dotted box crosswalk.

The last photo is a wider view of area and dates to June 2012. The street paint is the same as the last one. The 2012 Summer Olympics were in London from 27 July to 12 August. So this is how the street was painted during the Olympics.

The ship on the river is the RS Hispanola, which was in all of the "paths" I followed. The photo here dates to May 2012.

I'm American so I'm not familiar with European cars, but if I were, I'd try to date the photo by European models and year of make. I've looked for street renovations in the area to see if I can tell when the big construction project I saw in 2017 started, but I'm dizzy already, so I quit.

I got it!

 

The left-side street paint in May 2012 is different from the left-side street paint in June 2012. The June 2012 left-side paint matches the July 2014 left-side paint, so, Q's London Eye photo had to be taken before May 2012!

 

May 2012 is the only left-side of the street that matches Q's picture!
