Beat this if you can, saw this while cycling a couple of weeks ago -
"Flesh Hovel Lane", just had to ride down it.

"Rampant Horse Street" in Norwich is a good'un.

Letsby Avenue, Sheffield.

Not as odd as those two but Cyclemagic is on Friday Street. There are no other streets in Leicester named after days

Hey Hilldodger, forgot to say mine is just the other side of the A6 at Quorn, can't be far from you.

Inevitably, at some point this thread will descend to the gutter, so ... there's a Fanny Hands Lane in Lincolnshire somewhere, and a Bell End in Birmingham.

Didn't there used to be a Gropec*nt Lane in London somewhere?

EDIT: And a lot of other places too!

There were such lanes all over the country! Stick it in (ahem) to google and read the Wikipedia entry

Edit: oops, post-cross - and you went for the link!

Land of Green Ginger, Hull.
Which has Englands smallest window.

Steep Hill in South Cave is very appropriately named too
