LINK: London Street Index & Virtual Tour !
« on: Wednesday 12 November 08 17:22 GMT (UK) »
Would you like to wander the streets of London, but can't afford the train fare ?

Fear no more - go to www.seety.co.uk

Get map and satellite views like Google, but click on a street, and you get 360 degree views, and then click on direction arrows to take you up and down the street !   As an ex-Londoner, this kept me amused for hours !  :)

RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.

Thanks for the link Nick, having just found some of the roads where my ancestors lived, if not the houses, all seem to be post WW2 in the area, I think I could be here for hours.  ;D

Many thanks indeed Nick. Great web-site.

As an ex-Londoner too though now 12,000 miles way I shall  be able to wander the streets at my leisure.

As griz says a great find.

I actually find it quite scary - my favourite music store in Greenwich is now a Chinese herbalists, and the undertakers next to it is a plumber's merchants  :o

Ho-hum..... it's still less scary than driving though the London that I don't remember  ::)

Best Wishes,  Nick.
