  • Today, we walk along Streatham High Road, voted as "The Britain's Worst Street" in BBC's 2002 poll. Streatham, located in Lambeth borough, South London had won this title for its "run-down shop-fronts, a junction which defies belief, broken lighting and cramped pavements." Over the years however, millions of pounds have been invested which we will have a glimpse of today. What do you guys think, does it still deserve the title or not?

    I live there. To be honest, I think Britain's Worst Street is a bit of an insult, and it's made a pretty decent effort to improve.

    Born and lived in Streatham til 1984. It might have a few sad looking shop fronts, but what you need to do is "look up"..... the architecture is lovely.

    I grew up in Brixton from 1943-1969, when I got married and moved away because of my job. I worked at the Regal/ABC cinema from 1963 - 1967 as a projectionist and attended Saturday Morning minors there when I was little. I have fond memories of Streatham High Street, walking its length on many occasion from the age of 10 until I left the area in 69. Brixton and Streatham will always be home to me, even though I don't recognise any of the shops along there anymore, and a whole new generation of people populate the streets now. Thanks for the walk.

    My hood. Longest High Street in all of Europe. Streatham Hill Station end is more up and coming and better in my eyes. It's great though, all of it. A little disappointing empty shops or shutters in places but there some great places and has everything. Marks and Spencer, JD sport, EE, Theatre, pubs (Rebel Inn is great), Aldi, Lidl, great food (Vietfusion, Turkish, KFC, Mexican, Chinese, Indian). What's not to like? Architecture is great too, as another commentor on here says - "look up".

    Streatham is a very good shopping area. Many of the best food shops can be found on the high street, with restaurants and places to buy drinks and take a break from shopping. It is quite clean and a busy area.

    I think even in 2042 people will be referring to the one time in Streatham's history it was called the worst high street. I roll my eyes when people refer to this event 20 years ago as they don't realise it's changed so much since then
