Accessing Street View depends somewhat on whether you're using it from Google Maps or Google Earth.
Street View in Google Maps:
Drag the orange "pegman" icon from the navigation control (on upper-left corner) onto the map to enter Street View mode. If blue lines appear on the map then those lines indicate where street view is available [not all areas have street view].
Street View in Google Earth 6 and 7:
Drag the orange "pegman" icon from the navigation control (on upper-right corner) onto the map to enter Street View mode. Also if you're looking at ground from low altitude then double-click on a building or ground to enter nearest Street View photo from that location.
Street View in Google Earth 5:
Check the Street View layer under Layers panel then double click on photo icons that appear on the map.
