The Shambles in York, which is lined with buildings dating back to the 15th century, took the prize in the Google Street View Awards.
Stockbridge High Street in Hampshire was voted the best foodie street and Milson Street in Bath won the award of best fashion street in the poll.
Ian Addyman, who owns a shop on The Shambles, said it was full of "historic charm".
He said: "There is a real feeling of community amongst shop owners and I think we all feel privileged to work in such a beautiful place. The shops here are all strikingly different and unique.
"Most people say that if you visit York, then at some point you will walk down The Shambles. It has been the backdrop for many a jigsaw, chocolate box and railway poster and once you visit you will see why."
The Royal Crescent in Bath and Grey Street in Newcastle came second and third respectively in the vote for the most picturesque street.
More than 11,000 people voted for their favourites after the streets were short-listed by a panel of experts.
Ed Parsons from Google said: "The Google Street View Awards are aimed to celebrate the many fantastic streets that Britain has to offer, and the results reveal a diverse cultural landscape of food, fashion and beauty that puts the winning towns firmly on the map."
