St's James Park's
 

Anyone bemused by LUL's inability to spell St James's Park might enjoy this
sign which has adorned the wall of the New York Subway since 1933...

So what did they get wrong? The spelling of the area for centuries
before LUL was St James's Park.

Indeed, and LUL have generally followed that spelling (with a dot after
"St"). But there is one roundel sign on the eastbound platform that
says St. James' Park.

But LUL like to back all the horses by having numerous signs with
different spellings. A case of at least one of them must be right? ;-)
