People might want to book a cheap hotel in York after the Google Street View awards named one of the city's streets the most picturesque in Britain.
The Shambles is a 14th century small street that attracts thousands of visitors a year to walk down it's unique and historic cobbles.
It is perhaps most famous for its leaning houses, from which, if two people were to lean out of opposite windows, they could hold hands. The lower floors still have large shop windows and one small dwelling marks the shrine of York's martyr St Margaret Clitherow.
