Google Street View and Paul McCartney’s hugely high wall: “I’ve always wondered what was over Paul McCartney’s fence. It is an open
secret in the neighbourhood which is his house. He has the sort of gates
that bring a little bit of the Home Counties to London and a wall so high
you can’t walk past and cast a casual glance into the front window. Now,
thanks to Google Street View, not only have I hurdled the barricades to
peek, I have also read the number plates of the cars parked behind his
forbidding gates.”
