Newington Butts
Newington Butts is a former hamlet, now an area of the London Borough of Southwark, that gives its name to a segment of the A3 road running south-west from the Elephant and Castle junction. The road continues as Kennington Park Road leading to Kennington; a fork right is Kennington Lane, leading to Vauxhall Bridge.
It is believed to take its name from an archery butts, or practice field.〔 The area gave its name to an Elizabethan theatre which saw the earliest recorded performances of some Shakespearean plays.
==Toponymy==
The Middle English word "butt" referred to an abutting strip of land, and is often associated with medieval field systems.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Archery butts – 3 General description )〕 The 1955 ''Survey of London'' published by London County Council could find no historical reference to archery butts in Newington although the connection is mentioned elsewhere (e.g., in 1792〔). The name may have alternatively derived from the triangle of land between the roads, as the word "butts" is used elsewhere in Surrey to refer to odd corners or ends of land.〔
