christmas Street

Bristol: home of the weird, wonderful and downright outrageous. The people of Bristol take pride in being unafraid to express themselves. Evidently the same can be said for the road names. Here are some of the best names we have spotted across the city, there really is something for everyone.


14. Christmas Street

Every day is Christmas in Bristol.

13. There and Back Again Lane

The bins behind Jamie’s Italian on Park Street are the lucky residents of There and Back Again Lane.


12. Moon Street

Bristol is renowned for its creativity, naturally the residents should rename roads to match the nearest pub. In at number 2 is Moon Street (previously known as North St), by The Full Moon Attic Bar in Stokes Croft.

11,10,9. 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.


 

8. Cheese Lane and Ham Lane

And just in case Saffron close, Sage Hill and Rosemary Lane didn’t accurately portray the Bristolain love of food, we also have Cheese and Ham lane.

A little unknown fact about Bristol is that our top businesses are run by unicorns.

1. 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.
