If you click on Google maps and then put the address into the search box and then click in the "hybrid" box, you will be able to get a satelite image of the street.

I was going to point you towards the Charles Booth website but it seems to be broken at the moment. This would give you some background on what he area was like in the reign of Victoria (just google Charles Booth and its the lse website)
