The easiest option is to drift into a solid primary when approaching a london zebra. This usually prevents cars thinking it's a good time to overtake, and if a ped suddenly wheels round and decides they do want to cross after all you aren't within the zone of their first couple of steps...
Obviously you ought to be able to stop in time but logically at any speed, even a safe one, there is a distance at which that isn't safe.
