right up your street
British English


Meaning:
If something is right up your street, it would be perfect for you or ideal for your skills and interests.

Example sentences:

I've found a job that should be right up Humphrey's street. It's writing for a cricket magazine, so he could use his writing skills and his knowledge of cricket.
I thought a tour of German castles would be right up your street, Sarah.

Note: The idioms "right down your alley" and "right up your alley" have the same meaning, but they're used more in American English.

Variety: This idiom is typically used in British English but may be used in other varieties of English too.
