In 1666, London was wiped out by a fire. This left a blank slate for a potential reorganization of the capital, which was unfortunately not undertaken. One proposed idea was this grid system
This was well before America put them into almost every single downtown.
Just imagine London with a rigid grid with easy to understand streets that would be numbered. And more importantly, imagine the influence this would have all over the world
Think of the poor people of Boston IOTL
Or maybe Haussmann might be interested in doing this to Paris.
So how bout it?
We can further supplement this straightness with this 19th century plan to straighten the Thames.
