"This week Time Out revealed its latest ranking of the coolest streets in the world. The 2025 list (which follows our rankings of the planet's current top cities and neighbourhoods) spans every feasible definition of cool, from boutique shopping in Osaka and architectural excellence in Montreal to community arteries in Rio de Janeiro. Naturally, a London street made it into the list. Taking a crown that in previous years has been worn by the South Bank, Deptford High Street and Soho's Gerrard Street is Blackstock Road. The Finsbury Park-Highbury link placed 23rd in the global ranking, sandwiched between avenues in Buenos Aires and Cape Town."
"So, what exactly makes Blackstock Road cool right now? Well, loads of things. You can read up on Time Out editors' favourite Blackstock spots here. If you're after a more visual representation of what Blackstock Road is all about, we've got that, too. Photographer Chris Bethell headed to the street to take snaps of its coolest bits."
