Hmm, my English husband says he'd say "He lives on Baker Street," just as I (an American) would.

We often have "What? What does that mean?" sidebars to our normal conversations. But one memorable occasion was when a pot started boiling over on the stove and he kept telling me to "Turn off the hob! The hob!" I knew what that meant with my normal brain, but with the food getting ruined I was too flustered to understand what he wanted me to do for a few seconds. If he'd just left me well enough alone I'd have turned the darn stove off right away. (g)
