Is "Albion" Still Generally A Known Word in the UK?

Some place on the N. Coast is called Albion. I actually try to track down the origins of names of places I've lived or visited. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albion "Albion" is a poetic term for England (the whole of it). It is derived from the Latin for "white" and from the appearance of the sea cliffs of Kent and Sussex as seen from the English Channel. A few people in those counties ride bicycles, so you're just about on topic.
