Marion Crescent runs between Powerest and Cray Valley roads, a little northeast of an area that was once wooded and known as Robin Hood Shaw but is now full of residential streets with Robin Hood-related names. Given its proximity to these it is natural to assume that 'Marion' is Lady Marion, Maid Marian in her more refined incarnation. In the immediate vicinity of Marion Crescent we find Hood Avenue and May Avenue. See further the place-names listed on the page on the St Mary Cray place-name cluster.
