Nanny is threatening to rename the south London district of Tulse Hill because of its namesake’s links to the slave trade.
A survey by Lambeth council asked residents their views on the names of streets and the area itself as part of a community listening exercise.
It comes in the wake of Nanny Khan’s pledge to hand Londoners £25,000 to decolonise their areas.
Lambeth has begun a review of the borough and streets including Vassal Road, Holland Grove, Foxley Road and Foxley Square and Lord Holland Lane, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The area’s name is derived from Sir Henry Tulse who was lord mayor of London and he was the descendant of the Tulse family whose wealth come from the slave trade.
Wait 'til they hear that London was named by the Romans (who ran an entire empire with slaves)!
