Robin Hood Court was somewhere near the point indicated.

Robin Hood Court was a small cul-de-sac not far from the southern end of Bucknall Street and thus near Dyott Street. It is known only from early 19th century topographical reference works.
John Lockie in his Topography of London (1810) lists the court as "Robinhood-Court, Church-Lane, St. Giles's,—about four doors on the L. from Diot-street, near Phænix-street".[1] In the 1813 edition this has become: "Robinhood Court, Church Lane,—4 doors from George-st. Bloomsbury".[2] It is also included in James Elmes's Topographical Dictionary of London (1831).[3]
