British environments, buildings, vehicles, etc

A lot of the Daz assets for building cities, suburbs, etc, are all very American and there's almost nothing available fo create an environment that isn't American. I was looking for assets that I could use to buld an authentic British style location but aside from the Northern Terrace Street and Gastro Pub, there isn't really much available. There's a London bus and red pillar box/phone booth combo, but no black cabs or cars with the steering wheel on the right-hand side, and absolutely no houses that look British.

I'd really like to see more assets that can be used to create British environments, like city streets with British-style traffic lights, pavements, road markings, buildings, etc, as well as vehicles with the steering wheel on the British side, British style housing estates with detached and semi-detached homes, town centre shopping areas, etc. Also, emergency services like British police cars, ambulances, and fire engines along with their respective clothing assets.

    You could try Streets. It has full UK & US versions, for Iray, 3Delight & Poser.

    I'm posting a promo pic because I've just discovered that when I updated it last year, DAZ didn't put up the new promos I gave them. So the page still shows the old promos.

    PS You might find a use for Suburban House too.

    I have seen that but it's quite low quality compared to what's available today and not as realistic as I'd be looking for. I'm also not really all that skilled in Daz so wouldn't know how to make it better and am really looking for stuff that's ready-made for HQ renders.

    It may not be the style you've looking for, but it's absolutely not low quality.

    There are a few sets based around a London theme:

    but I'm not sure about standalone houses / streets or emergency vehicles/uniforms.

    (I do have a shopping arcade - link in my sig - that, while not specifically British (though I do use British spelling where applicable), can do as a local shopping area)

    Actually, the idea was to provide a city background without grinding the user's computer to a halt. I deliberately kept the poly count to a minimum for that reason.

    Still, I understand you may need something more detailed. No worries.

    StoneMason is from New Zealand, his Urban Sprawl 2 has some British influences.  https://www.daz3d.com/urban-sprawl-2-the-big-city

    https://www.daz3d.com/county-crime-lab is based on the old (1940s-1990s) mortuary & coroner's court building in Oxford, just off St Giles.
