Default Which UK railway station names do you feel are anomalous?

There are many inappropriate station names. In London the two most
striking are Clapham Junction which is in Battersea, not Clapham and
Willesden Junction which is in Harlesden.

Why WAS Clapham Junction so called? Neither IN Clapham nor a junction
FOR Clapham. And has it always been one station, or were there
originally two or three stations close together?
