Robinhood Lane in Mitcham leads southwest from Manor Road in an area bounded by the latter, Sherwood Park Road and Wide Way. Northwest of Abbotts Road it is a proper street, but southwest of it passage is blocked by a green iron gate, and beyond the gate the lane becomes a mere dirt track with gardens on its northeast and garages on its southwest side, I am not aware when the lane came into being or came to be named after Robin Hood, but to my untrained eye the houses have a 1950s' look. Several streets in the vicinity have Robin Hood-related names.

Robinhood Lane / Google Earth Street View.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-11-29. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-07.

Robinhood Lane in Mitcham leads southwest from Manor Road in an area bounded by the latter, Sherwood Park Road and Wide Way. Northwest of Abbotts Road it is a proper street, but southwest of it passage is blocked by a green iron gate, and beyond the gate the lane is little more than a rut or footpath between gardens and garages, The earliest reference I have found is a 6" O.S. map published 1936, based on surveying done in 1932 (see Maps section below). Several streets in the vicinity have Robin Hood-related names.
