Plus I really don't think
Larkhall is actually used as a name for the area.


It would be if there was a station with that name. Consider what
happened at Thornton Heath. Thornton Heath *used* to be the name for
the area around the pond. Then the station opened a small distance
away, buildings sprung up around it, and the name moved. These days,
Thornton Heath means the area around the station, and if you want the
original place you have to tell the cabby Thornton Heath Pond.
