The green man traffic signal has been replaced by a woman at some pedestrian crossings in London. Transport for London (TfL) said the switch was aimed at "recognising the contribution women make to all aspects of society".

The temporary change was made on International Women's Day at 20 locations in the capital including Clapham, Brixton, South Kensington (pictured), Hyde Park Corner and outside King's Cross St Pancras Tube station.

The signals feature a range of women in different shapes and sizes.

TfL asset operations performance manager Felicity Luckett said: "We hope that by increasing the visibility of women with these signals in public and shared spaces, Londoners will be reminded of the huge contributions of women."
