Most areas of London are ill-defined, I think it's fair to say.

Crystal Palace is a made up place but the club is authentic to that place, if that makes sense?

It’s more that both the club and the area are independently named after the site of the stadium where the club used to play. The club would still be called Crystal Palace even if the name had died out for the area of town.
