- Seven Sisters — named after seven elm trees planted in a circle on Page Green in the 1800s (they've been replanted several times since)
- Piccadilly — named after "piccadills" (fancy lace collars) that were sold by a tailor who built a mansion there in the 1600s
- Maida Vale — named after the Battle of Maida in 1806 (a British victory in southern Italy), celebrated by a local pub landlord
- Tooting — comes from the Saxon clan leader Tota and his people (Tota's people = Totingas)
- Nunhead — local legend says a Mother Superior was beheaded there during Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries and her head displayed on a pike at Nunhead Green. There's basically no evidence this actually happened, but the story stuck and gave the area (and the local pub) its name
