Thousands of Britons will be attending street parties this weekend to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III but some roads have another connection to the royal occasion.

In addition to the world’s longest-running soap opera Coronation Street, almost 500 roads and streets across Great Britain take their name from the Coronation.

Data by Ordnance Survey Open Roads shows there are 489 roads which have the name “Coronation”.

This includes 158 Coronation Roads, 84 Coronation Avenues, and 77 Coronation Streets.

No roads in the London borough of Westminster, where the historic ceremony takes place, are named “Coronation” with just six roads in the capital named after the event.

All of which are located in outer London, with one each in Bexley, Brent, Havering, Hillingdon, Newham, and Redbridge.

Greater Manchester has 20 Coronation-related road names while Norfolk has the most in any local authority area with 16, followed by County Durham with 15 and Derbyshire with 14.
