My collection of London street name signs. For ease of reference the photos are organised approximately alphabetically although this is a bit random when the pic contains two street names.

Handyside Street N1C

This is the new street leading down to the new St Martin's art school. Wonder how they came up with the name? Can just imagine someone asking, during the redevelopment, "How do you get down to the new art college building?" The reply might have been "Just go down that handy side street..." And so a new name was born. These new King's Cross postcodes seem all wrong to me. NC1 would sort of make sense but N1C? Added to that, the signs themselves seem slightly unreal as they're situated on the green leafy hoarding surrounding the development site which gives the impression that they're something out of a movie rather than a real street.

Hanover Place WC2

Hanway Place W1

Thomas Hanway, a commissioner of the Royal Navy, owned this land in the early eighteenth century and left it to his nephew, the Rev. James Altham. The latter's son James Hanway Altham was in possession of it by 1796. The Hanway's were related to Jonas Hanway, also appointed a Royal Navy commissioner in 1762 but mainly noted for his work on behalf of children in the care of the workhouse. S.
