Caption: @abermans’s Star Photo of Burrell St Sexual Health Clinic uploaded onto Google Maps on 2022-05-01 and showing star views of 10,863,992 as at 2025-05-01

Burrell Street Sexual Health Clinic, London, UK

When I uploaded my photo of London’s Burrell Street Sexual Health Clinic all those years ago, I never imagined it would rise to prominence as my most-viewed upload to date.

But with over 10 million views, it’s clear this clinic captures significant public interest. Perhaps people find the modern, sterile interior design aesthetically pleasing! Or maybe they’re just really intrigued by the fine selection of informational posters adorning the walls.

Honestly, I was hesitant to document such a sensitive location at first. However, knowing how popular health-related search results are, I took a chance. Turns out my instincts were spot on - this clinic is clearly Londoners’ new favorite hangout spot!

With 3.1 stars on Google, I can understand patrons having mixed feelings about their experience. But a brief awkward consultation is a small price to pay for the instant Maps fame one gains by checking in.

On a more serious note, I’m glad a spotlight can be brought to important community services. While reviews may not pour in like at trendy restaurants, it’s comforting to know this clinic’s doors remain open for all those health-related matters one prefers not discussing over tea.

So whether spicing up date night plans or assisting with more personal needs, the Burrell Street clinic has proven invaluable to many London explorers. Who knew confidentiality could cultivate such popularity!

Daisy’s Garden Centre - front entrance
Taken on Pixel 3XL in April 2020 during one of my lockdown strolls. I don’t usually walk past here as I usually drive past it. But this day, I was on a long stroll and took this photo to show it’s front entrance.
I have been very surprised that it has gained such a lot of views and it has become my star photo.

What makes this pic so interesting is the way Waiter is snooping to figure out what we were doing with the dish at his restaurant!

:camera_with_flash: Star photo by @do_quang_chi of Yuzu Omakase ゆずお任せ – Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
:spiral_calendar: Uploaded onto Google Maps in February 2024

Tôi không chụp bức ảnh này vì muốn nó “đẹp” – mà vì muốn lưu lại khoảnh khắc cả bàn lặng im, và món ăn được cất lời. Yuzu Omakase không chỉ là nơi phục vụ omakase đắt bậc nhất Sài Gòn, mà còn là nơi tôi thấy một Sài Gòn trưởng thành: biết khám phá, biết chi tiêu xứng đáng, và dần biết trân trọng nghệ thuật vị giác. 📱 Ảnh chụp bằng iPhone 16 – không chỉnh sửa. Một cú nhấn chụp nhanh. Nhưng sau hơn 1 năm, ảnh đã đạt hơn 80.000 lượt xem.

Star photo by StevenBerlin taken in Las Vegas, CA, at Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant at the Fashion Show mall. This was taken with a Samsung 20 FE in 2022 during covid. I loved the architecture of this restaurant and we ate there as well. It currently has 18,748,890 views and has not grown in views since the Feb, 2024 change. I don’t understand the tables people are posting at all. I will include a link. I took about 10 photos of this restaurant and it was featured instantly and stayed that way for almost 3 years. Please, please, please accept this attempt at my uploading my star photo!!!

Caption: @RooksieN’s Star Photo of Ink N Ivy uploaded onto Google Maps on 2021-11-01 and showing star views of 1,613,027 as at 2025-06-05

Ink N Ivy, Greenville, South Carolina, USA

Went to dinner late one night at Ink N Ivy, because they were still open late on a weednight!, after a show at the Peace Center and this was the amazing Red Velvet Cake dessert that I ordered. It was beautiful to look at and tasted amazing. I had to snap a photo and share it on Google Maps. So glad I did as it has been a featured photo for awhile now. I took this photo back in 2021 and it was definitely a Google Pixel phone, but I don't know which model number. I think this is a great photo and definitely up there as one of my best.

Link of my photo in Google Maps!

This is the photo with the most views I have currently in Google Maps. I took it on March 1, 2022 using my Android Smartphone (Samsung, probably an S20), and it shows the main plaza of the University of Lima, Peru :peru:. Behind the plaza, you can see two modern pavilions inaugurated around that time as part of a university expansion and modernization project.
