About Me (and my Obsession)
My obsession with London street names began in the early 90s when I worked in the Smithfield area and happened upon Bleeding Heart Yard. In my wanderings around London, I kept adding to my store of weird and wonderful street names. Eventually it was time to share – hence my blog. I hope you enjoy these names as much as I do.

What a hidden marvel! I cannot imagine how many times I must have been past this place, and had no idea it was there. Good reblog, Elizabeth.
Best wishes, Pete.
Fascinating, isn’t it? Her blog is very good – worth following if you aren’t already.
I am following 80 blogs at the moment, which is the most I can cope with. If I had twice as much time, I could follow 160!
