Do not abbreviate!!
In some parts of the world it is common to abbreviate streetnames. For example: 'I met him on Albany'.Do not do this in the UK. We *never* abbreviate streetnames. Not only will you immediately mark yourself out as a visitor if you do this but you also risk causing considerable confusion.You see, UK streetnames are not unique to any one street. There may well be an Albany Street, an Albany Hill, an Albany Square, an Albany Lane...and/or Crescent..and/or Drive...and/or View... and/or Road....and/or more.....There is simply too much potential for error if you abbreviate UK streetnames, so we never, ever do it.And neither should you!:-)
