The study carried out by the Royal Mail revealed the top 20 'romantic hotspots' in Britain.
Colchester has made it on to the list, but not thanks to its history or cultural highlights.
Instead it made the list due to the high number of love-related street and house names.
There are a starry-eyed total of 153 love inspired street or house names in the borough making it eighth on the list.
There are more than 24,000 UK streets and houses sporting a romance-related name, according to the new research.
Love is popular among the nation's addresses and has inspired one in 10 British house names.
