Sandwich
There are three instances of the sandwich on London’s street signs, although all are more likely to be named after the Kentish town – named from the Anglo-Saxon ‘Sandwic’, meaning ‘market town on sandy soil’ – rather than the tasty snack. Sandwich Mews is in New Eltham, Sandwich Street is in St. Pancras and Sandwich Close is in Finchley.
Sandwich
A sandwich is a dish typically consisting variously of meat, cheese, sauces, and vegetables used as a filling between slices of bread. Initially perceived as food that men shared while gaming and drinking at night during the 18th century, the sandwich slowly began appearing in polite society as a late-night meal among the aristocracy. The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an eighteenth-century English aristocrat.
