There is a Lara Croft street in Derby, England. I almost didn’t believe it either.

The Lara Croft street is actually called ‘Lara Croft Way’. Lara Croft beat out three other English demi-gods in the contest to name the street. She seriously beat them. Lara Croft got 89% of the vote. 27,00 people voted on this thing. Hopefully this epic [street naming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) paves the way for that nude code we are all waiting for.
