London is mostly associated with monumental medieval architecture, the Buckingham Palace or Tower Bridge, red buses, royal family and the London Eye. However, outside the center of the city there are streets full of terraced houses that are so characteristic for the landscape of English cities and towns. Terraced housing is a perfect solution of accommodation problems, which occur when large numbers of people live on a limited area. High tenement houses provide flats for many families, and at the same time make commercial and service activities possible, as it is easy to enter the ground floor directly from the street.
