For people whose first language is not English, the one with GHTSBR in the middle of its name. Naah. Gotta be Leicester Square (Ly-cester Square) or Maida Vale (Maddyah Valet) Plaistow and Theydon Bois catch out quite a few of the locals - let alone tourists. If Plaistow is 'Plarstow' why isn't Paisley 'Parsley'? Because it's in Scotland rather than the saarf of England? |

writes That would be all of the ones that are underground on the Met/Hammersmith Lines. They are dirty and depressing places to wait for trains. I like Baker Street...... . . and I'm quite fond of Great Portland Street, with the casement windows on the bridge over the track. -- Martin @ Strawberry Hill |

In message , Ian Jelf
writes Ugliest: Wembley Central. Smelliest: Wembley Central. Most vandalised? Wembley Central. Inaccessible? Wembley Central. And the most frightening. I've only used it once (I posted to utl about the experience). It still frightens me to think about it. We went pass the station at the weekend on the bus. And my girlfriend refused to believe Wembley Central was in use and it was a disused station. To be honest the whole of Wembley is run down. Maybe when the new stadium is built their will be more investment in the area. -- CJG |

Substantial funding is coming into the areas under a section 106 agreement to tie in with the Stadium. Rob. -- rob at robertwoolley dot co dot uk |
