New names for parts of London

Henry Irving

With the news that Bloomsbury, Holborn and St Giles are set to be grouped together under the title 'Midtown' in a bid to raise the profile of an area sometimes seen as the boring bit in the middle of the West End and The City what new names would you give to other part of our great City?

I'd call Charlton Ebbsfleet in preparation for the ground share /merger in a few years.

South Bermondsey - Misfit Manor

DaveMehmet

Norwood - Wanktown

Tangotown

Henry Irving

Belverdere - Dudeville

Oggy Red

SE7 could be renamed "East London"...... every single poxy journalist and TV commentator could then correctly refer to Charlton as an East London club.

Does a Len, runs away and hides.

;o)

Heath Hero

I have heard Raynes Park described as "Wimbledon Slopes" which amused me.

Henry Irving

Isn't Charlton East Blackheath?

Floyd Montana

E 13 renamed 'Going Downtown'

Alex Wright

I went to school in Eltham Heights

LenGlover

I once knew somebody who lived near the Peter Pan Pool in Downham refer to it as Bromley Ponds!

Friend Or Defoe

Bromley Pond is where the Homebase is.

Catford - Crackford.
Downham - Brownham.
Orpington - Whorepington.

ValleyGary

Erith - Bexley Riviera

St Reatham - Streatham
Croushand - Crouch End
North Downham - Catford!

Thamesmead - River Thames.

SE10Addick

Deptford - West Greenwich.

Oh that's already been done!

To be fair, Holborn/Bloomsbury has "unofficially" been referred to as Mid-town for a good few years now. Think they just want to try and make it more official.
Some cracking pubs around there.

Peter Pan's Pool is where the Homebase is - Bromley Pond has never existed!

Made me laugh when they re-branded Surrey Docks as Surrey Quays and invented the new place called Canada Water - which is basically Rotherhithe, I don't care what anyone says!

I used to live in a place called Ladywell, which is apparently now Ladywell Village. Must look out for the game of cricket on the green and the may pole next time I'm passing!

No longer exists.

Wiped out by beaurocracy. And town planners.

Certain estate agents would have you believe that New Cross is "The Blackheath Gateway" as well!

I'm actually in New Cross and my bit gets referred to as Hatcham Park....

I prefer "da ghetto".

Peter Pan's Pool is Catford Southend, surely?

That's what I meant Alex. Unless there is more than one Homebase in Catford!
