Why? There was long gone North Greenwich station (closed 1926) on the
southern tip of the Isle of Dogs over the river from Greenwich - see
the Disused Stations website [1].


So Ryanair style dubious naming was in practice way back then!

This mirrors the north-of-the-river
naming of North Woolwich, across the Thames from Woolwich proper.


Yes but wasn't North Woolwich administratively part of Woolwich? I don't
think it was part of the Hams pre 1965.
