Streatham HR- Seeing the light
51 images Created 21 Feb 2010
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-through 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 happily share their living space.
