. . . and buses running down Leyton High Road have "Stratford City" on
their
destination boards.

Oh!

because that's the name of the shopping centre :-(

We'll have someone complaining next that when they get on a bus with
"Victoria" on the board it doesn't take them to Canada

I've yet to hear anyone round here call either shopping centre "Stratford
City". The new one is universally referred to as "Westfield" and the old one
was always known as "the Stratford shopping centre."
