I am sure it should be called St Germain's Road

Actually not. A pedant would insist that it be called "St Germans Road", and if there were an apostrophe it should be after the "s". The name appears in various parts of Lewisham, particularly Blackheath.

At one time the earls of St Germans owned much land in Lewisham. They take their title from the small village of St Germans in Cornwall. The earls' family name is "Eliot" and this also crops up in various parts of the borough, as in "Eliot Bank".

The other principal noble landowners in Lewisham were the earls of Dartmouth who have also left their legacy in our street and pub names.
