London is a bit different to other cities. Most of its neighbourhoods were once outlying villages, and though they may have been smooshed together by urban expansion, plenty still have a distinct character and feel – often focused on a single main road. Here’s our street-by-street guide to London’s best spots: local history, the best places to eat, drink and shop, and great things to do on streets all over London.
