Why does it need a new name though?!
I’ve lived here for ages, and when people ask me where I live, I say ‘south west London’ or ‘Battersea’ or ‘just off Northcote road’ depending on how well the questioner knows London.
No one has ever ever replied ‘great but that needs a snappier nickname.’
Outside spivvy estate agency world, no one gives a damn about these fake ‘village’ names, and I’m afraid I would cringe if I heard anyone using it.
We have several friends living around abbeville road, and none of them call it ‘abbeville village’. As the other reply said, it’s just for cheap suited estate agents
