Maybe the railway that named it should have followed GW practice and
named it something along the lines of "Southwark Park Road"?

Wasn't it rather a long way from Southwark Park Road - with Rotherhithe
New Road a major road much closer?

PS
There are historical maps at
http://maps.southwark.gov.uk/connect...ical_Selection
for anyone having problems with the link. The 1915-20 survey shows the
station and other maps the before and after.
