I find that a head movement to the rear plus a very slight movement is often enough to get drivers to yield. I have even had full eye contact interpreted as aggression by an anonymous white van driver!
Although I haven't had an issue with it, there is a fine for using zebra crossing on your bike but as so many people break the rules I think the police turn a blind eye to it. I prefer the road though as the zebra crossings take so much time - if I go on the road I can save up to 15 minutes on my commute, mostly due to the fact that nobody stops at zebras here.
