I've often wondered why there's a Japan Crescent in Crouch End.

Is that where they filmed Crouch End Tiger Hidden Dragon?

What would be the modern equivalent of this be?

Cabul Road.

Albion Road - Multicultural Road
England's Lane - West Lothian Lane
America Square - Obama Hip

The Coburg Hotel but the name was changed during the war so as not to

The hotel reopened last year with a Coburg Bar...
