Which reminds me, given the potential for confusion it has
unwittingly spawned, I must find out why Loughborough Road, on the
edge of Brixton, was so named...

Named after Lord Loughborough, who once owned a mansion there.

Does there have to be a reason for a road to be named after a place?
Manchester Rd and Prestons Rd, Gloucester Rd, Devons Rd, Belmont Road...
aren't these just arbitrary names?
