How many Americans who came to Greenwich for the Olympics though this road had been re-named for their Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney? In fact it may have ironically been named after HMS Romney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Romney_(1762) , a British ship in the American War of Independence. The sign is new for 2012, when Greenwich became a Royal Borough.
