Talk:Rotherhithe Street

Longest?
'The longest road in London' needs a bit of clarification. Does 'London' mean 'the London Postal Area' or 'Greater London'? Is it the longest road with a continuous name, or the longest road with 'Street' in the name (i.e. the longest street, as in DYK)? The 'Great West Road' springs to mind as a contender.

 * I changed it to "street" as that's what the sources say - not sure if it's the longest with street in the name, longest that would be described as a street (which the Great West Road wouldn't be) or both. According to https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/england/london/galleries/tiny-attractions-in-london/shortest-thoroughfare/ Green Lanes is the longest, but it isn't continuously named (it also seems to have the length wrong - OpenStreetMap may show a 12 km route from one end to the other if "car" is selected but that is on different roads; it's 10 km including the part not called Green Lanes).

Old Kent Road is longer (2.9km) and that is definitely a street. Martinjohnbudden (talk) 10:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
