Named College Road in 1876 after opening of the new Dulwich College Road. Originally the road was called Penge Road and was built by John Morgan, who leased fields at the foot of Grange Lane in the late 1780s, to connect Dulwich with Penge.  He was permitted to build, and take tolls from, the Toll gate, to pay for the upkeep of what remains a private road.
