So which do you reckon is the hardest to pronounce?

For people whose first language is not English, the one with GHTSBR in
the
middle of its name.

Naah.

Gotta be
Leicester Square (Ly-cester Square) or
Maida Vale (Maddyah Valet)

Plaistow and Theydon Bois catch out quite a few of the locals - let
alone tourists.

Would I be right in saying Theydon Bois as "thaydun bo-iss"?

Almost, I'm a Chingford lad, born & bred and myself and everyone I've known
from the area have pronouced it "thaydun boy's". Of course, as we spent our
youth keeping Courage (Directors) Ind Coope (Burton) Green King (Abbot) &
MacMullens (anything) in profit or attempting to smoke the entire output of
Nepal & Afganistan whilst "down the 'Liz" listening to "Exium", we might
have got it wrong :-)
