The southern end of Jan Palach Avenue viewed from Brown Avenue. The avenue was named in memory of Jan Palach (1948–1969), a Czech student who set himself on fire in Wenceslas Square Prague on January 16th 1969 as a political protest against the end of the Prague Spring after the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact armies in 1968. He died on January 19th 1969. According to one online source, this is the only street so named in the UK.
