Charlie Brown's Roundabout

It is named for a pub that stood adjacent to a smaller roundabout at the location until being demolished, in 1972, to allow expanded interchanges and access to the M11.

Southwest is the nearby settlement, South Woodford, part of London since 1965.

[3] The Railway Tavern was taken over by the younger Charlie's sister, while he operated the rival Blue Posts, directly opposite the Railway; both pubs erected signage calling themselves Charlie Brown's Pub.

[4] In 1938, Charlie Brown left the Blue Posts to take on The Roundabout, in Woodford.

Its southwest sits on the site of Roding Cottage which included a commercial rose nursery in its 6 acres (2.4 ha).
