I used to like Titty Ho near where I lived at one point.

In fact I viewed a Tuscan for sale and the superbly naked Titty Ho Motor Co.

There used to be a Butt Hole Lane in Conisborough, Doncaster too but the joyless buggers at the council changed its name.

A street name thats been lost from a lot of Cities and Towns is Grope Lane. Now renamed Grape Lane in most places, its where ladies of the night used to sell their wares.

When I was doing "The Knowledge" to become a London black cab driver in the seventies, it consisted of being periodically called to make an "appearance" at The Public Carriage Office to be tested on your progress.
The examiners would often give you 2 points linked in some way, and you'd have to name every street that you'd use to get from A to B, in as straight as possible line.
e.g., Q.P.R. F.C. to Fulham F.C., or City of London Police H.Q. (Wood St. E.C.1) to Metropolitan Police H.Q. (Broadway S.W.1).
One that they'd use occasionally was Cock Lane, (Smithfield), to Pratt Street N.W.1.

I like Passages. Go anywhere half historic and there's a good selection of Passages - Marys Passage...
