For everyone's information, the concept of 'right of way' has a different meaning from the one you intend:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_of_way
What you mean to refer to is priority. Pedestrians have priority when they have started to cross the carriageway (at least) at junctions. See Highway Code Rules 8 and 170. I'm no legal expert and don't know on which legislation this is based (Road Traffic Act?) or if these rules apply generally and not only at junctions.
