St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?
Something I wondered as I took a rare journey north of Baker Street on the
Jubilee Line the other day. The on board scrolling displays and the tube maps say it is spelt St John's Wood with apostrophe but the platform roundels omit it. So which is right? Regards John M Upton |

John Upton:
The on board scrolling displays and the tube maps say it is spelt St John's Wood with apostrophe but the platform roundels omit it. "San John's Wood"? Interesting variation. :-) So which is right? Either, both, or neither, as you wish. There is no single definitive source for the "true" name of an Underground station, and many stations have had this sort of variation. Of course, if the station was named after something, and *that* has an official or universally used spelling, you might take that to be indicative... -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Just because it's correct doesn't make it right!" -- Jonas Schlein |

Interesting variation. :-) So which is right? Either, both, or neither, as you wish. There is no single definitive source for the "true" name of an Underground station, and many stations have had this sort of variation. Logic would suggest that St John's Wood is more likely to be correct, because the wood then belongs to St John, rather than being a wood consisting of multiple "St John"s, or named after "St Johns"... ....whereas Earl's Court or Barons Court could reasonably have their counterpart spellings, given that a court might either belong to an earl or a baron, or be composed of multiples thereof. My local Shepherd's Bush always bugs me, because although most Tube maps show it "correctly", buses rarely do - partly because although the location seems to be officially named "Shepherd's Bush" and the green space is called "Shepherd's Bush Common", the road that runs along the southeastern and western sides of the Common is apparently "Shepherds Bush Green"*. Argh! I can understand how a bush would *belong* to a Shepherd, but a bush composed of shepherds? Or maybe even "bush" is a verb... dogs bark, sheep bleat, shepherds bush? Of course, if the station was named after something, and *that* has an official or universally used spelling, you might take that to be indicative... * depending on which maps you consult (A-Z or Bart's) and whether you prefer the LB Hammersmith & Fulham's usage (which rarely includes an apostrophe on anything Bush-related). -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

LUL stations are full of anomalies like this. D Rose's Diagrammatic History has notes on the subject. There are many places where station names have mutated and had the "suffix gradually dropped". E.g. Totteridge and Whetstone is called simply Totteridge on the actual station; there is no mention of "and Whetstone" in the station's name anywhere at that station other than on the system-wide maps.

" writes BARONS COURT / Barons Court (not so much an anomaly as simply both being wrong, with the absence of an apostrophe) PARSONS GREEN / Parsons Green (ditto) Most place names are far older than the apostrophe, which was a 16th-century invention. For instance, Parsons Green never appears with an apostrophe on old maps or other documents, even well after the 16th century. It is the rather haphazard modernisation of spellings over the years that has resulted in many of the anomalous uses of apostrophes. But Barons Court is an exception - it was a name invented just over 100 years ago. It didn't have an apostrophe then, and there is no real reason to add one now. -- Paul Terry |

Indeed, I seem to remember being told that there never was an actual Baron (fictional or otherwise) after which the place/station was named: they just called it that to p*** off the people one station up the line.

However one uses an apostrophe (or doesn't have one), it must be consistent with the station name being a NOUN PHRASE !

Whilst agreeing with almost everyting you have written, your final paragraph is somewhat contentious. It would imply that Jesus was Greek! In her amusing book, "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" Lynn Truss (mistakenly, I think) states the rule as being that one omits the "s" where the proper noun is of "ancient" origin, whatever that may mean. But she then goes on to disprove this rule by quoting "St. Thomas' Hospital" as being an exception to the rule! I am always consistent in omitting the final "s", and as a rule that cannot be faulted.
