The genesis for the project came after a disappointing Google search for the 10 most beautiful streets in London. What did I find? Over a dozen blogs listing a bunch of unconvincing and mostly unimpressive "Instagrammable" streets from various tourists who simply don't know the city like a local does. Having lived and breathed London for 10 years across multiple bases (flats, jobs and... well, ex-girlfriends' flats) I feel a responsibility to show the world where the beauty really lies in the UK's capital.

The plan is as follows: upload 100 or more walks of streets which I feel belong on the list in no particular order. After this comes the challenge where I assemble them in order and present the list to the world.

Having sunk some serious hours in already, I have a shortlist of just over 100 streets for consideration. I must stress, if you have suggestions for streets you'd like to see then please discuss in the comments below. I respond to almost all comments! I will take likes/dislikes as a form of feedback as well, of course. Plus if you have friends and family who love London, by all means share the videos! I could use all the feedback I can get. :)

Today we take our first look of the series at central London, courtesy of Northumberland Avenue, WC2. It links up Victoria Embankment on the north bank of the Thames on the south end to Trafalgar Square on the north end. The street itself is just under 400 metres/a quarter of a mile long and leads straight to the Golden Jubilee Bridge for anyone wishing to cross the Thames to visit the South Bank.

The street is home to the Nigeria High Commission (i.e. embassy for Commonwealth nations), the Playhouse Theatre and a number of hotels. It is also featured on the UK Monopoly board in the pink zone.

Filmed: June 2020
