Best road names

In medieval times, many English towns had streets called Gropec*nt Lane, or a variety thereof; there was one in the City of London somewhere, but I'm not sure if the road is still there or what it's called now if it does survive. There's a Wikipedia entry on this subject, but if I paste a link it won't work for obvious reasons!

 

In the town of Stanley, in County Durham, there's a Lenin Terrace, though it's not surrounded by roads named after Marx, Engels etc.

Wiki is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grope****_Lane. Obviously type it in manually.
