Talk:Vine Street, London

Untitled

 * Sorry friends, as the nomination for deletion, among other things, shows: this is not the most prominent Vine Street. Vine Street in Hollywood (think Hollywood & Vine) is. I will rename this article. Alexander 007 20:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

There are two Vine Streets
Right, this needs addressing, and fast. There are two streets under the name "Vine Street" in London. The one this article talks of is the very short thoroughfare near Piccadilly Circus, in Westminster.

There is, however, a Vine Street near Tower Bridge and the road called Minories and Mansell Street and Goodman's Yard. This is a longer road, and surely the one depicted in the board game?

Any replies would be gratefully recieved, as I am confused as to why it is the tiny Vine Street which is being written about here. 86.158.164.15 (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Vine Street, W1 (e.g., the one in Westminster) is the "correct" one in terms of the Monopoly board. Other than the initial five places which are in the (then) suburbs, and the railway stations, the roads on the British monopoly board form a coherent route around Westminster. Look at the relative positions of Bow Street, (Great) Marlborough Street and Vine Street and things become clear. – iride  scent  15:38, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Etymology
It would be nice to have something on the etymology of the street name bearing in mind its use to purport that grape growing was performed in London at the time of the naming.
