Given this new station on the H&C seems to be literally a stones throw

call it white city rather than having another daft Bank-Monument

An alternative view is that White City should be revert to its old name
given that the stadium is long gone.


Er.. White City (Central Line) opened as White City in 1947. What could it
revert to?

Are you thinking of the earlier H&C White City (ex Wood Lane) behind the
BBC?

The White City station opened in 1947 was a rebuild, admittedly on a
slightly different site, of Wood Lane station and is in Wood Lane. The
old H&C White City was nearer the old Wood Lane than that White City and
the new Wood Lane is nearer to White City station than the old White City
H&C station was.

Between the current Goldhawk Road(h) and Latimer Road(h), and
Shepherds Bush(c) and White City(c) there have been 9 stations at
various points of time.

Is quite a good map of them. Surely thee can be no area of London
with a greater concentration of closed stations, can there?
