Each city’s street name serves as either location labels or road identifications. They do, however, also contain excellent values. Street name is a system of vocabulary of a language, used to name for a place. Therefore, it is influenced and governed by general linguistic rules in terms of phonetics, vocabulary - semantics and grammar. Linguistic researchers have approached the name place from two different respects: geographical - cultural perspective and linguistic perspective. In this article, research approach, data collection, data analysis methods were used to analyze the street name of two districts and one area in London to indicate the syntactic and semantic features in the street name in Theoretically, this article contributes to a broader understanding of the street name in England from the linguistic and social-cultural standpoint.
