Acacia Avenue

Acacia Avenue is a cliché in British culture.[1] It is a placeholder name for an unexceptional middle-class suburban street.[1] It is named for Acacia, a genus of evergreen trees and shrubs indigenous to Australia and New Guinea but grown ornamentally in the UK.[2]

There are at least sixty Acacia Avenues in the United Kingdom,[1] 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.
