The capital might not be renowned for its beautiful countryside, but east London certainly has its fair share of pretty streets.

We asked our readers across Romford Recorder, East London Advertiser, Barking and Dagenham Post, Newham Recorder and Ilford Recorder to tell us about the prettiest streets in their boroughs.

Here are the top 10 prettiest streets across east London, according to our readers, with a couple of our own suggestions added in:
