Acacia Avenue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acacia Avenue is a cliché in British culture. It is a placeholder name for an unexceptional middle-class suburban street.

There are at least sixty Acacia Avenues in the United Kingdom, nine of them within Greater London.

In Canada, the residence of the Leader of the Official Opposition, Stornoway, is located on Acacia Avenue in Ottawa, Ontario.
