The name Surrey Quays was coined by civil servants as a way of embarrassing the then Minister of Transport, Cecil Parkinson. The name alludes to his deserted mistress, Sarah Keys. It would be a pity to lose this snippet of history.I have no idea whether or not there is any truth in this, or whether it's one of those things that somebody made up because the world would be more interesting if it were true.
How old is Sarah Keys when she died in Alcove Spring??
The first guy has probably been humiliated enough by now. They should rename the place to humiliate someone more contemporary.
