Google Street View in Europe

History
On March 18, 2009, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands were added. In the case of Great Britain, only major centres were uploaded and even coverage of those city centres was incomplete. For example, Edinburgh was missing Street View images of two of its key thoroughfares: Princes Street and the Royal Mile (although portions of both were visible from adjoining streets that had been imaged).

On February 9, 2010, imagery was updated for parts of the UK as well.

On March 11, 2010, 95% of the United Kingdom's roads, both rural and urban, covering a total of approximately 238,000 miles, were added. More locations in the Netherlands were also added.

On April 15, 2010, some major UK theme parks were added including Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventures, and Legoland Windsor, as well as the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth.

In August 2010, Google Street View Cars were photographing Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney as well as Slovakia. Also, ten Street View cars were delivered to the Latvian capital Riga.

On September 30, 2010, the Republic of Ireland was added.

On November 23, 2011, Street View became available for almost all of Belgium. While Street View content was recorded earlier, privacy issues kept Google from making it available to the public.

On April 23, 2013, Hungary was added. The Kaliningrad Oblast enclave of Russia was also added and almost all places in Poland and Romania, except for the major cities added earlier.

On October 10, 2013, Iceland was added.
