Strangely in some ways it was one of the most interesting tags I've got. I never go to Acton or Shepherds Bush so it was interesting to see what was out there.

I passed a road called "Wulfstan Street" which is suggestive of something Old English, I'm going to look it up anyway.

By old English you mean Saxon?
Wulf is dead common in Saxon histories so you need to check nearby street names for a theme. If former monastery land look for previous Abbotts, saints or bishops. Otherwise you could be looking for Ealdorman of an area of Wessex/Mercia associated with that part of London.

I think I mean Old English, at least in language terms.

Google says there was a Bishop of London in Aelthelreds time. Maybe he also invented trains?
