Robin Hood Court on John Rocque's map of London and Westminster (1746) / Locating London's Past.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-27. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-17.

The now lost Robin Hood Court at Upper Thames Street is mentioned in John Strype's Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster (1720) and figures in several 18th century lists of London street and place-names. It is included on John Rocque's map of London and Westminster (1746) as "Rob. Woods C[ourt]" (see map detail below and Maps section). It was destroyed to make Trig Wharf.

Harben in his entry on the locality refers to Ogilby and Morgan's 1677 map of London, but Robin Hood Court is not included on copies of the map available online.[1] A New Complete Guide to all Persons who have any Trade or Concern with the City of London lists the locality as "Robin Hood's court".[2] It is included in a list of London streets and localities in the Compleat Compting House Companion (1763) as "Robin Hood court".[3] See further the Gazetteers section below. The court disappeared when Trig Wharf was made.Template:PnItemQry
