No. 17, Cherry Tree Lane is the address of the Banks family that Mary Poppins visitsAnd 110A Piccadilly, W1, London is where Peter Wimsey lived.  
Would you include estates, likes Duke’s Denver?  
(I’m thinking we should hide the who-lives-there to make it more fun to guess?)

Hey, a chance to clarify an address I [posted](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15058069&postcount=47) in a recent thread. At the time I knew it was 2311 Los Robles, but not north or south. Saw a rerun the other day and it was given as 2311 North Los Robles. Which is too high for the actual street in Pasadena.

_Big Bang Theory_: Sheldon, Leonard and Penny’s building.

Here’s an obscure one: 5140 Barrington Street, Seattle, WA 98103. (Sometimes given as “Avenue” and once as 514.)

Seattle Grace Hospital on _Grey’s Anatomy_. Note that 98103 is north of Lake Union, unlike the building shown (actually the KIRO building) near the Space Needle.

Surprised no one’s followed up the OP with 221 Baker St, Apt B, Princeton, NJ 08542. This is one is too easy.
