Bristol, home of the weird, wonderful and downright outrageous. We take pride in being unafraid to express ourselves and evidently the same can be said for our road names.

1. Christmas Street
Every day is Christmas in Bristol.

2. There and Back Again Lane
The bins behind Jamie’s Italian on Park Street are the lucky residents of There and Back Again Lane.
3. Moon Street
Bristol is renowned for its creativity, naturally the residents should rename roads to match the nearest pub. In at number three is Moon Street (previously known as North Street) at the bottom off Stokes Croft.
4, 5 and 6. Saffron Close, Sage Hill & Rosemary Lane
Bristol is home to all three of these popular condiments in road form. After all, Bristol is the spice of life.
7. Cheese Lane and Ham Lane
And just in case Saffron Close, Sage Hill and Rosemary Lane didn’t accurately portray the Bristolian love of food, we also have Cheese Lane and Ham Lane.
8. Long Road, Main Road and New Street
Sometimes even road-namers struggle to come up with something original, and Bristol respects that.
9. Unicorn Business Park
A little unknown fact about Bristol is that our top businesses are run by unicorns.
10. Nowhere Lane
Looking to reside somewhere inconspicuous? Bristol can help you out.
11. Old School Lane
BS8 likes to keep it real, and Old School Lane won’t let you forget it.
12. Badman Close
Perhaps the least aptly located road in the Bristol region, Badman Close can be found neighboring the Mendips Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We think it should be relocated to Stokes Croft.
