[snip interesting discussion of tube station names]

One of QMUL's halls of residence is located behind Stepney Green tube
station but I suspect very few who've ever stayed there realise that the
green stretch in front of them is not Stepney Green, which is a short walk
the other side of the Whitechapel (or is it Mile End) road.

This made me think of Whitechapel Art Gallery, which is almost next
door to Aldgate East tube station. I'm told that first-timers often
arrive at Whitechapel tube only to discover that they've got off at the
wrong station...

Mercifully I've yet to hear someone call an area "City Thameslink".

Which shows just how inappropriate a name this is. For a start, there
are several other Thameslink stations in the City.
