Do y'all know how many roads at that spot are inwards the City of London?
None - at that spot are no roads inwards the City of London.
The argue at that spot are no roads inwards the City of London is because all those streets paved amongst gilded were named a long fourth dimension earlier the give-and-take 'road' came into purpose most 250 years ago.
If y'all don't believe me too then y'all tin sack search this 1682 map of London for whatever streets amongst a 'road' place-name. The London Time Machine is an interactive version of William Morgan's map of London. If y'all explore the map y'all volition detect lots of streets, lanes, alleys too yards. You won't detect whatever roads.
