Geoff:
Sir Clement Freud - no 's' - is a well-known broadcaster, 
renowned for his witty and humorous comments and 
was been a Liberal Democrat MP for several years in 
the House of Commons.

Geoff:
The more popular view is that it was a corruption of 
Infanta de Castile, A number of pubs have gained their 
name by this route,

It is probably the best known pub in London, beloved 
of generations of Cockneys. It also has the distinction of 
having an Underground station named after it and 
when the last London trams were withdrawn in 1952, 
London Transport produced a nostalgic fiilm called 
"The Elephant will never forget".

The description of the road system which you found is that 
obtaining after the mid-1950s. Before that all the roads 
meeting here met at one point creating one of the most 
awkward road intersections to control in the capital.
