Street View for the whole UK!

What a timely thread - I saw this picture in lolcelebs yesterday (I though of Craig Ferguson when I saw it). :smiley:

Why why why why why why why does the UK have to look so appealing and beautiful when I know that I’ll never get to live there? Why? sobs

Do they have street views of Lincoln? There’s a house still standing believed to have been rented by Katherine Swynford. Anyone have any idea? I’d like to see it.

They really waited for great weather to send out their cars - how often do you see St. Andrews like this? That is the ninth green, but spin 180° to look out over the ocean.

Stonehenge

Pretty cool! I could spend some time sightseeing here.

Does anyone have a link to Little Whinging? :smiley:

Yes, there are street views of Lincoln. It appears that the house in question is located near the Minster

I used it to look at the address of “84, Charing Cross Lane” in London, the title of that book by Helene Hanff back in the 1960s about her correspondence with the employees an antique bookstore at that address.

I knew that it had ceased being a bookstore a long time ago, but was curious as to what was there now. The best I can make out is that it’s a kind of funky music store.

For the Holmesians:

221b Baker Street , complete with one of Lestrade’s men.

Oh, this is great! I searched for my brother’s street, and it took me to right outside his house, looking through the living room window at him standing in the middle of the room watching the TV!

I can’t wait to show him that. :smiley:

Probably the most dangerous/most fun road in Scotland - Bealach na Ba Pass of the Cattle

Groundskeeper Willie has been slacking off.

Near the top of Glencoe. A couple of miles further back up the road there’s no snow on the same hills, so at least two goes at this by Google.

A somewhat bandaged-looking Forth Rail Bridge viewed from the Forth Road Bridge.

The Forth Rail Bridge seen from just about under it at North Queensferry.

They caught Durham Cathedral in beautiful light, and also a tent of some sort.

One of the Churchill Barriers on Orkney, built by Italian POWs to help prevent German submarines sinking capital ships in Scapa Flow. The causeways had the handy side effect of linking some of the islands where there had only been a ferry before- in this case Lambholm. On Lambholm the Italian prisoners, by all accounts decent fellows who really weren’t interested in fighting a war, built this, the Italian Chapel out of a couple of Nissen huts and some scrap metal. It’s a wonderful testament to the human spirit.

I looked at my street and there’s my Mam and my uncle heading out to the shops, at whatever ridiculously early time the photo was taken.

Don’t you folks have any dynamite?

Yes, I’m an American, and yes, that is our answer for everything.

Of course, but it’s an old road that follows the cattle track that once was the only way to get to Applecross without sailing there. There’s a very scenic proper road that wends around that coast nowadays (victorian times), so the cattle road is a bit of a relic, but still.

One would think the World’s Most Villainous Frog would be game for blowing some shit up.

For Torchwood fans

And for Gavin and Stacey fans…

Stacey’s house in Barry

Gavin’s house (not in Essex at all, but in Dinas Powys, also in South Wales).

What yo talkin about Wullis? This is the MI5 building.

Isn’t that the same building, just round the corner a bit?
