The parallel path in London Fields maybe a joggers’ path.

I then began to notice them everywhere. I’d add that there are also desire road crossings. You can’t see them but they are places where there should be a designated pedestrian crossing but there isn’t one so pedestrians take their chances when they can. And invariably on the same stretch of road
