''Coney'' refers to a hare or rabbit; thus New York City's Coney Island was an island once known for its abundance of wild rabbits. However Three Coney Walk was a country lane in Lambeth, near Lambeth Wells, a place of mineral wells around which public entertainments grew up, with a "Great Room" for music and dancing opening before 1697.  Later Three Coney Walk became known as Lambeth Walk. This description is quoted from Louis Alexis Chamerovzow's '''The Embassy, or the key to a Mystery''' (1846), a novel, although the quotation is from the factual appendices which support the narrative:
