Gandalf and Tolkien Streets opened in Warsaw's Sluzewiec district nicknamed “Mordor”. Two intersecting streets in Warsaw have been named after writer Tolkien and one of his most famous characters, Gandalf the wizard. The decision was made at the suggestion of residents, who wanted to reflect the nickname of Mordor given to that part of Warsaw. The Mordor nickname of the Sluzewiec district of the Polish capital was given several years ago, after the majority of new office buildings was built in that part of the city.
