There's an Effra Road in Wimbledon. (I know because I live on it.) Which is odd, because we're nowhere near the Effra. We're quite close to the Wandle, but that's not at all the same thing.

London’s ongoing issue is a distinct lack of new road names. I assume Effra Road wasn’t used elsewhere and the developers thought “Why not that?”

Could be. There's another one in Brixton, which makes more sense.

Nice trip down memory lane for this former Sarf Lunnon resident - lived in Croxted Road, which is mentioned here.
