Elephant and Castle ---- Walworth North AFAIK Elephant & Castle is/was the name of a pub in the area and it so happens that other tube stations suit - Angel (Islington), Swiss Cottage are two other examples. not just tube stations - the Green Man roundabout, the Pawleyne Arms as a bus destination, etc. but not Hackney Central - the bar was built *after* the station. what about Seven Sisters? i know that's a road, a roundabout and a station, but where does the name come from (the Pleiades, i guess, but how?). tom -- If you had a chance to do any experiment you pleased, unconstrained by any considerations of humanity or decency, what would you choose? |
