Discovered by accident that there are several 'Dickenslaan' and 'Dickensstraat' around the Netherlands. Would be tempted to visit and take a silly photo of the street sign, but most of them are in bland suburbs where I tend not to go.
(Amusingly there is also a Coldplaystraat in my town. Won't be going there!)
