First it was our major metropolitan areas, then our regional cities, now our towns and villages our getting CCTV.

-The exact number of CCTV cameras in the UK is not known.

A 2002 working paper by Michael McCahill and Clive Norris of UrbanEye [1], based on a small sample in Putney High Street, "guesstimated" the number of surveillance cameras in private premises in London as around 400,000 and the total number of cameras in the UK as around 4,000,000. The UK has 20% of the world's CCTV and one camera for every 14 people.-
