Albert Road in NW6 escaped the mass renaming of Albert Roads in London.
Albert Road was such a popular name for 19th century streets that postal deliveries would often go astray - ending up at the wrong Albert Road address.
In 1937, it was decided that the Alberts, the Victorias, the Parks and the Princes should mostly be renamed as streets.
A few lucky Alberts, like this one in NW6, survived the cull.
