Naked Boy Alley

West out of Little Elbow Lane. In Vintry Ward (Rocque 1746–Boyle, 1799).

The site is now occupied by offices and business houses.

Named after the sign, which is said to have been adopted to illustrate the constant changes in fashions which took place in England, rendering it difficult to decide what style of dress to adopt.
