Nunhead

Nunhead is a place in the London Borough of Southwark in London, England.〔Southwark Council - (Nunhead and Peckham Rye Community Council )〕 It is an inner-city suburb located southeast of Charing Cross. It is the location of the Nunhead Cemetery.〔BBC London - (Nunhead Cemetery )〕 Nunhead has traditionally been a working-class area and, with the adjacent neighbourhoods, is currently going through a lengthy process of gentrification. Nunhead is the location of several underground reservoirs, built by the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company.〔''(Peckham and Dulwich )'', Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878), pp. 286-303〕
==Etymology==

The name is first recorded in 1680 and is believed to be taken from a local inn named ''The Nun's Head''. It is rumoured that this name refers to the beheading of a nun during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.〔Mills, Anthony David (2001). ''Dictionary of London Place Names''. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-280106-6〕
