I see that the DLR has "Custom House for ExCel", the latter being
somewhere that might not survive in its current form during an
extended recession.

Why would that be a problem any more than the fact that there hasn't
been a working Customs House there for ages either?

And I don't think another famous DLR station is anywhere near a
working Wharf for ships from the Canary Islands...

Although the same could be said for Olympia.

And don't forget Centrale in Croydon.

Several stations are named after pubs: IIRC the Angel pub at Angel is not
the original, which is gone.
