I wish London Underground stations had names that properly
described the area that they were located in, instead of
using obscure street names or some other undescriptive name.
For example, if I had to rename the stations on the
Bakerloo line, I'd have this instead (with a little
help from my A-Z):

Elephant and Castle ---- Walworth North

[snip]


As it happens, it seems as if the tube names are more
readily recognised than the area, which is why if you
tell someone you live in Walworth, they have no idea
where you are talking about until you say you live
in the Elephant and Castle.

Surely that's exactly why the name should stay as it is?

Apart from anything else, Elephant and Castle is just so much more fun as a
name. And it is geographically accurate - that's the name of the junction.
As good as Oxford Circus.
