Yes, it's F street in Queens Park, London  W10 Before 1900 the whole of Queen's Park was a 'detached portion' of the Parish of St Luke's Chelsea, all of four miles away. The whole estate was laid out by the Artizans, Labourers and General Dwellings Company in the 1870s.  With stunning individuality the called all the down streets First, Second, Third etc Avenues - which they are still called today - and the cross streets A,B,C etc Streets.  The latter soon got 'proper' names, but I don't have the reference books to hand to tell you which streets became which.  A quick call to Westminster Archives should solve your problem.   Hans Norton     --- On Fri, 6/1/12, JFHHgen <[email protected]> wrote: From: JFHHgen <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SOG-UK] F Street in Queens Park To: [email protected], [email protected] Date: Friday, 6 January, 2012, 11:53 Hello Derrick, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derrick Porter" <[email protected]> >I am looking at a marriage certificate from 1877.  The marriage took > place in St John's Church in the parish of St Luke, Chelsea.  The > problem is the residence of the groom (and bride) which is: > >     30 F.

The area surrounding these streets fell at the junction of several parishes - Hammersmith, Willesden, Paddington, Kensington and  a detached portion of Chelsea. The streets themseves were originally given letters of the alphabet, but subsequently acquired names - see London County Council's guide to streets in the administrative county of London for more detail.
