You can come for a drive with me any time!
I know what you mean about instinct; if you've spend years of your life finding your way around Britain with maps and A-Zs, you seem to develop a sort of instinctive understanding of the way towns and cities are laid out. Obvious cues like streets called "London Road" or "Roman Road" or "The Glebe" will help. It all goes wrong though in cities like Leeds or Birmingham, which were wrecked by planners in the 70s and 80s and have lost their evolved streets.
