How do you pronounce Brondesbury?

When I lived nearby in Willesden Green, I always pronounced it
'Brondz-bury' but today heard a LO recorded announcement stating the train
would call at 'Bron-des-bury'

As you do.

BTW, though - it's pronunciation, not pronounciation. ;-)

There's a pub near Brondesbury station called "The Brondes Age"...

Thank you. And thank you for correcting my spelling. Trust English to
allow an 'o' to go astray, just because you elongate a word. (Assuming I'm
spelling 'pronounce' correctly. I'm obviously better at talking than
writing ;-)

Thank you. Listening again this morning, the LO announcement is more like
'bron-dess-bree'. Sounds awful.
