I've often wondered why there's a Japan Crescent in Crouch End.


Is that where they filmed Crouch End Tiger Hidden Dragon?

What would be the modern equivalent of this be?
Wanting to rename Kabul Terrace?

What would be the modern equivalent of this be? Wanting to rename Kabul
Terrace? Or perhaps Barclay Street and Halifax Street?


How about renaming Gordon Brown Place? (Mallaig, PH41 4RL)

Not a street... but The Connaught Hotel in Mayfair used to be called
The Coburg Hotel but the name was changed during the war so as not to

The hotel reopened last year with a Coburg Bar...
