AFAIK there is only one incorrect "St. James' Park" sign (eastbound, near
the front of the train, by the stairs). Considering that the LU HQ is
above the station, it's remarkable that the sign has never been replaced.

St. James' Park is the correct way to show it. St James's Park is incorrect.
Its like; I'm going to Chris' House, not I'm going to Chris's house

A common misconception. The "s" after the apostorphe is only omitted
if the word is a plural, rather than a singular, noun. E.g. "boys'
games" compared to "Burns's poems."

Hmm... I was most definitely taught in school that my name would be
" Lewis' " and not " Lewis's " - and that was only 10 or so years ago.

Regardless of that, Lewis's looks ugly and tends to make people
mispronounce my name. I solve the situation by simply having " Lew's "
!

Best Wishes,
LEWIS (with one S)
