    You inspired me to do a search. there are currently NO roads in the UK that are named after Lady Diana.

    edit = Someone found one street. I abase myself

      Perhaps not that surprising, considering the nature of her death…?

        I hadn’t considered that.

      Princess Diana Drive as well, built shortly after she died I recall, it was a bit controversial.

        As a previous commenter pointed out, getting into a traffic accident on Lady Diana Drive would be a bit on the nose.

        Like getting killed by a Mansfield bar.

      Diana’s Drove is named after her. Look at the nearby street names. It’s in the next town north from the royal estate at Sandringham.

      Edit: this is the first one I found. I’m pretty sure there are more.
