Robin Hood Road is shown and labelled on a couple of O.S. maps published just after WWII (see Maps section below). Either the road was never built or the name was briefly applied to the eastern arm of Robin Hood Green. A dozen residential streets in St Mary Cray (formerly a parish in Kent, now part of the London Borough of Bromley) have names that are more or less certainly inspired by that of a small wood that existed in this area before urbanization kicked in: Robin Hood Shaw. Robin Hood Road briefly was or would have been one of them. See further the page on the St Mary Cray place-name cluster.
