Streatham High Road is located in the South London borough of Lambeth, and it is what is locally believed to be the longest High Road in the UK and a contestant to be the longest High Road in Europe. In addition, it was voted as Britain's Worst Street in a 2002 poll by CABE (the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment).
Being part of the A23 from London to Brighton, Streatham High Road for many seems to be just a traffic choked drive-thru road on their way to their final destination, and a road with little appeal. However, by slowing down to observe, experience, and capture this part of London with my photography, I am hoping to show that it is, in fact, a perfect microcosm of multicultural Britain where an incredible mix of ethnicities share their living space.
You are very welcome to post any feedback and comments you have on this blog- I am curious to read about it! I hope you enjoy my blog about the neighbourhood I live in!
