The thoroughfare which can boast the shortest name of any in London is D Mews, in the locality of Regent's Park. It is the only surviving "alphabet" ctreet — i.e., streets whcse names were simply a letter of the alphabet. Some years ago nearly every letter in the alphabet gave its name to a thoroughfare, but D Mews is tho only one which has not had its name lengthened.
