About these names

Accra addresses often work by landmark and neighbourhood rather than a reliable house-number system: give your driver the district and a nearby landmark.

A first visit covers a coastal strip of about 8 km: Jamestown and Ussher Town (the old Ga town) in the west, Independence Square and the government quarter in the middle, and Osu with its Oxford Street a little further east. Makola market sits just inland from the old town. Everything beyond that strip — East Legon, Airport Residential, Labadi, Teshie — is a ride.
