Acacia Avenue


Acacia Avenue is a cliché in British culture. It is a placeholder name for an unexceptional middle-class suburban street. It is named for Acacia, a genus of evergreen trees and shrubs indigenous to Australia and New Guinea but grown ornamentally in the UK.
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.
