Historical version 6 of Oddly Numbered Streets (view current version)

Streets with fractional numbers:

  • Balls Pond Road
  • London Wall
  • Dowgate Hill, the City
  • Barnard Hill, N10
  • Southwark St (has 59 1/2, being the Association of London Government)
  • Gabriel's Wharf (possibly) - goes 0, 1/3, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2 or something
  • Southern Road, N2 (has 1 1/2)

Having a number 0:

  • The Vale, Golders Green

Just weird (out of order):

  • Dunford Rd, N7
  • Allendale Avenue, N3

Numbered down one side, then continued along the other:

  • Fleet Street
  • Carnaby Street
  • Upper Street, Islington

This was the old way of numbering streets. It's not extensible. I was taught, possibly incorrectly, that this was called 'boustrophodon', like the ancient way of writing text. -- TomA
