Winding urban streets/grids

I thought about this after looking at pics of London yesterday. I have yet to make it out there but was amazed at its irregular grid structure. Streets and lanes seem very organically structured, which is fun and interesting. It's like being in a glob or a nature trail.

This type of city layout is different from the more rigid grid system that a lot of American cities use, which also has its grand look and logical advantages.


Anyways, does your city or a city you have been to have these types of winding streets and irregular grids? Suburban developments can be included too, since many of them are built with that in mind. I can think of Boston having this type of layout.


Also, post a lot of pictures! I can't at the moment since I'm typing this on my phone.
