London is full of funny little streets, but even the tiniest of these gets the dignity of a name and a sign to call its own. When I spotted this alley near Trafalgar Square, I snapped a pic

and thought I'd use it as an example of how ridiculously small some named byways can be in London. Little did I know that this particular alley

happens to be the narrowest in London,

widely reported as measuring fifteen inches wide at its smallest point. In spite of these modest dimensions, it's still official enough to make it onto
maps, claim some association with Charles Dickens (who supposedly frequented a pub that backs onto
Brydges Place), and be
one of the subjects of this great
website that challenges photographers to visit different London locations each week and then submit their unique takes on a common geographical site.
