The other day as I was glancing at pages in a book of maps I was struck by some of the interesting place names I saw. There is no particular order to them, and I must admit that I have not visited any of them (yet), but here are a few that I thought sounded interesting.
Hog Hill, Cuckold's Hill, Hatch End, Ruislip, Temple Fortune, World's End (right in the midst of many small villages), Gospel Oak, Barking Flyover, Finsbury, Shooters Hill, Plumstead Common, Twickenham, Strawberry Hill (no relation to Blueberry Hill), Birdlip, and Hope-under-Dinsmore.
There are so many of these names around that the list would be endless.
As you can see, there are many places named after relatives I have never met.
