1891 Census

6 Victoria Road
Civil Parish: Camberwell
Town: Peckham
County: London

Victoria Road, Peckham was the north end of Bellenden Road. The road still exists but the houses at the that end have been replaced by flats and shops. Try google-mapping it. I've found the Godfrey Edition of old ordnance survey maps very useful with changing London street names.

I come across this site about changing street names .  Don't know if it will be of use to your needs, I have found it useful to locate places.

Manor Road 1886


Another good site, it has a lot of old maps.

You need to go down until you see Kennington Park, click on this map and it will enlarge it,  scroll to the right of the park and you will see Lorrimore square.  Manor road is just to the right of it.  It is now carter street.
