Odonymy in the United Kingdom

Odonymy refers to the street or road naming conventions in the toponymy of the United Kingdom.

History

Houndsditch, an example of a street name with no suffix in the City of London

Many towns (particularly in England) will refer to their main thoroughfare as the High Street or Main Street, and many of the ways leading off it will be suffixed "Road".

In the City of London, according to tradition, there are no "Roads"; all the streets there are called "Street", "Lane", "Court", "Hill", "Row" or "Alley", or have no suffix (e.g. Cheapside). However, since 1994, part of Goswell Road now lies in the City of London, making this a unique anomaly.^[1]

Culture

Some older road names that were created in an innocuous or matter-of-fact way, and that were accepted at that time, are nowadays considered rude.^[2]
