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. :)

Our first entry is the leafy avenue of Queen's Gate in South Kensington, SW7. The street links Old Brompton Road in the south to Kensington Road in the north. It is notable for the trees on the pavements and ornate lampposts down the centre. On the north end of the street is the statue of Sir Robert Napier, who fought in the first and second Anglo-Sikh Wars in the 1840s.

Situated on Queen's Gate are the embassies of Bulgaria, Iraq, Thailand and Oman as well as the Bangladesh High Commission (which basically means embassy from one Commonwealth nation to another).
