Robin Hood Road between Knaphill and St John's, Woking, connects a small cluster of localities with Robin Hood-related names, for which see Knaphill place-name cluster. The earliest reference I have found for this road name is a 25" O.S. map of the area published in 1936 and based on surveying done in 1934.
