Land of Green Ginger is a short, crooked lane running between Whitefriargate and the Old Town. It has long delighted visitors for its name alone — one of the strangest in Britain — and was for years a clue in a national newspaper crossword. At the entrance to The George Hotel, look for what is sometimes claimed to be England's smallest window: a tiny, postcard-sized opening once used by an ostler to keep an eye on the courtyard.
The lane is short and quiet, but the lunchtime trade from the surrounding offices keeps the few pubs and cafes ticking over. The street sign itself is one of Hull's most photographed; the rest is best appreciated as part of a broader Old Town wander.
