Yes.  A name is a social construct, not a physical thing that can be measured
on the ground, so if it appears in the Ordnance Survey map - which is pretty much
the definitive(*) map in this country - then it can be said to exist.  Unless
there is evidence to the contrary such as a street sign saying something
different.

(*) definitive, serving to define or specify precisely (M-W)
