With all this Belgian nonsense happening at the moment I was thinking about what stretches of road in London are cobbled.
The longest section I can think of is from where the Design museum is to The Globe (give or take a few metre of tarmac/paving slabs).
Anyone else with suggestions?

Also Back Hill in Clerkenwell, not so much a hill but a cobbled bump... am thinking of stringing these up for a ride soon!

Muur de Stoney Lane has a few yards, which I'm willing to rent out.

Also Broadwick St in Soho. There must be a short steep cobbled climb somewhere...

Not quite London but how about Shaftesbury in Dorset, featuring "Gold Hill, made famous by the Hovis Bread advertisement, with its steep cobbles and picturesque cottages is the epitome of rural charm from a previous time." www.shaftesburydorset.com/gallery/GOLD%20HILL.jpg.html |

Have done it. You emerge onto the High St, bug eyed (in my case), startling the shoppers...very amusing!

Cold Blow Lane, the onomotopoiec former home of the mighty Millwall. Not only cobbled, but bloody scary.
