Rosenørns Allé is a street located on the border between Frederiksberg and Nørrebro, on the west side of The Lakes, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The street branches from the south side of the busy thoroughfare Kampmannsgade-Åboulevard at the west end of the embankment which separates St. Jørgen's Lake from Peblinge Lake, runs west to Julius Thomsens Plads and then continues in a more northwesterly direction to Bülowsvej where it turns into Rolighedsvej and later Godthåbsvej before reaching Bellahøj in Brønshøj. Rosenørns Allé is associated with the Radio House and its name was commonly used as a metronym for DR's radio broadcasting operations prior to the inauguration of DR Byen in 2009. Julius Thomsens Plads, across the street from the Radio House, is a public space surrounded by the multi-purpose- venue Forum Copenhagen, several large, educational institutions and St. Mark's Church.
