The road junction has only the flimsiest connection with the pub (they are close geographically and surprise surprise the road junction has taken the pub's name). It'd be best as a separate article, if indeed it is noteworthy. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly when did the road junction take the pub's name? Some time after 1668, I guess. One wonders if Samuel Pepys ever got that far. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:19, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, the roundabout is named after the pub, and indeed has given its name to the immediate area. They are clearly notable, and it would be UNDUE to have separate articles. Absolutely nonsensical proposal. Cheers! ——SN 54129 20:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And since the pub hasn't been called that for >20 years, modern usage clearly refers to the area, not the pub. ——SN 54129 06:26, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's always worth a punt. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
