I wish London Underground stations had names that properly
described the area that they were located in, instead of using obscure street names or some other undescriptive name. For example, if I had to rename the stations on the Bakerloo line, I'd have this instead (with a little help from my A-Z): Elephant and Castle ---- Walworth North Lambeth North ---------- OK Waterloo --------------- OK Embankment ------------- OK (on the grounds that I can't think of anything else) Charing Cross ---------- Trafalgar Square Piccadilly ------------- OK (tempted to call this Soho South, but you don't mess with the sacred) Oxford Circus ---------- OK (tempted to call this Soho West, but see above) Regent's Park ---------- Marylebone East Baker Street ----------- OK Marylebone ------------- OK Edgware Road ----------- Paddington East Paddington ------------- OK Warwick Avenue --------- Paddington North Maida Vale ------------- OK Kilburn Park ----------- Kilburn Central Queen's Park ----------- West Kilburn Kensal Green ----------- OK Willesden Junction ----- Harlesden South Harlesden -------------- Harlesden West Stonebridge Park ------- OK (no idea what else to call it) Wembley Central -------- OK North Wembley ---------- OK South Kenton ----------- OK Kenton ----------------- OK Harrow and Wealdstone -- Wealdstone As it happens, it seems as if the tube names are more readily recognised than the area, which is why if you tell someone you live in Walworth, they have no idea where you are talking about until you say you live in the Elephant and Castle.
