KING’S Road, Shoreditch High Street, yada yada. They’re so over right now.

Fashion bible Vogue today pronounces its pick of the four “coolest streets in London” -  so top up your Oyster card, because you’ll be heading to Kensal Rise or Bethnal Green to prove your  hip credentials now.

In the East End it's Redchurch Street, E2, a "burgeoning enclave” of "artists and artisans, appointment-only shops and gastronome-luring eateries".

North you can forget Islington’s Camden Passage or celebville Primrose Hill and head instead for Chamberlayne Road in, er, Brent.

The Kensal Rise street is a "leafy residential" haven oozing "local character, vintage stores and buzzing gastro pubs".

For south London, Vogue, which publishes a “secret address book” guide to Britain with its December issue, says the place to be is Bermondsey Street – a former dodgy grime-laden drag now a must-do destination for "stylish shoppers".

And up West forget Bond or South Molton - Mayfair's Mount Street is the one with the lure of Lobuboutin and Balenciaga.

The December issue of Vogue is out today.
