London’s Alleys: Model Cottages, SW14 - ianVisits<https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/londons-alleys-model-cottages-sw14-47254/>
This is an alleyway in East Sheen that runs down an avenue of delightful 19th-century cottages, the model cottages. Model not because they were small, but because they were the perfect model for how homes for workers should be built.

I know the one.
I think highway=pedestrian with appropriate access tags is quite a good
fit here.
The 5 mph is probably maxspeed:advisory, as enforceable 5mph limits are
quite rare (I believe they need special permission from the Secretary of
State).
I don't think it's a highway=living_street, as there's specific signage
for those in the UK and they're quite rare.
There's a blue "Home Zone" sign, of which only local example which
springs to mind is Cranberry Lane in Canning Town (although it still has
a 30mph speed limit, which is very Newham).
