Hmm.  ::)

'Her indoors' (my wife) would no doubt opt for Whitechapel Road - she loves all those TV shock thrillers related to the Ripper murders.

I would go for Marlborough Street (the main bus station): I used to have to deliver there, and it was a nightmare, trying to find somewhere to (legally) park my van.

My reference relates specifically to Bristol, by the way.  ;)
