Do you know how many roads there are in the City of London?
None - there are no roads in the City of London.
The reason there are no roads in the City of London is because all those streets paved with gold were named a long time before the word 'road' came into use about 250 years ago.
If you don't believe me then you can search this 1682 map of London for any streets with a 'road'
