Would you believe just over 2 meters? Ebenezer Place in Wick, Scotland. Despite only being 6.75 feet long, the street does have 1 address for a hotel that has one door on the street taking up most of it. Shaq could cover the whole street and stick out at both ends...
Ebenezer Place originated in 1883, when 1 Ebenezer Place was constructed; the owner of the building was instructed to display a name on the shortest side of the hotel. It was officially declared a street in 1887.

Ebenezer Place was only recognised by the Guinness Book of Records in 2006, after the owner of the Mackays Hotel building made an entrance into a new bistro. It replaced the previous record of 5.2 m (17 ft), held by Elgin Street, Bacup, England.
