Not London - but why would a pelican crossing suddenly acquire a aerial on
the top?

A planning notice will probably be stuck to a nearby lamppost or equipment
cabinet. Read it and you will find the name of the utility responsible, from
which the purpose can be deduced.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Was it crossing as part of its annual migration, and the aerial was
tracking it?

Or was it a pelicon?

The original acronym might have been pelicon but pelican is the accepted
spelling these days. As in "The Zebra, Pelican and Puffin Pedestrian
Crossings Regulations and General Directions 1997" for example.

Maybe an aerial for a cellular micro cell, sometimes hidden in petrol
station price signs. 3G use 'dummy glass fibre phone poles' complete with
iron steps a la BT ones.

Only 18inches long. Appearing on more. Location Derby. Not seen on a
junction yet - only pelicans and a bridge with one way working.
