Good for you! Serves them right for not looking. I'm always appalled at how few other cyclists stop for peds at that mini zebra by the bus stop (I assume this is the one you mean).
BobbyBriggs-
That's the one! Yeah it's shocking, quite often when i stop there i get carved up either side by other riders which results in an awkward stand off between me and the pedestrians as they're too scared to move and i'm loosing patience. It's like when you try and let a car out of a junction as there's a red on the other side but they have to wait as all the other cyclists just plough forward.
@Theoazb - i'd risk more paint loss on my rear fork to see it again.

Caused a comical multi bike pile up on the cycle path stretch between Southwark station and Blackfriars bridge for having the audacity to stop for a ped on the crossing. Guy behind that shunted into me was nice enough to apologise but the guy in Vigorelli who went over his handlebars and the others that clambered over him all had plenty of nice things to say to me. I'm pretty sure that at about 12mph a 15 metre stopping distance is enough when i have my hand out in the stop position and i've already looked over my shoulder to check rider behind distances and shout stop! at them or am i asking to be called a cunt? PS if you're going to ride a Vigorelli setup as a singlespeed like a pushy twat maybe put a back brake on.
