Friars Way, which connects Birken and Greggs Wood roads in a neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells known as Sherwood, is likely named after Friar Tuck. Like the names of several other streets, businesses and facilities there, this 20th century street name was probably inspired by that of the Robin Hood pub at Birken Road. Template:PnItemQry
