pronounciation - Brondesbury
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' -- Fig |

There's a pub near Brondesbury station called "The Brondes Age"... -- We are the Strasbourg. Referendum is futile. |

BTW, though - it's pronunciation, not pronounciation. ;-) Thank you. And thank you for correcting my spelling. Trust English to allow an 'o' to go astray, just because you elongate a word.
