Which street in London is named after one of the characters from Charles Dickens' novels?
Manette Street is a small street in the Soho area of London, linking the Charing Cross Road to Greek Street. Dating from the 1690s, and formerly named Rose Street, it is now named after the fictional character of Dr Manette in Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities", who is described in the book as living on a quiet street corner "not far from Soho Square". The street was associated with anarchism in the 19th century, in particular in association with the Rose Street Club, known for its popularity with radicals of all nationalities.

Copperfield Street, Doyce Street, Quilp Street, Trundle Street and Weller Street, among others — all named after characters from Dickens novels. The question wasn't clear and the one street chosen was of a minor character

Not long ago I read a Tale of Two Cities again. First read it in 1965 for school leaving exams. Can't remember how many times now.
