Ok, if we're getting all ethnic..
I believe the north London station has already (on at least one sign) been
renamed Golda's Green by the skilful application of a bit of spray paint?
I expect someone will dive in and claim this is all very non-pc, but I quite
like the idea of recognising London's multinational population in its
station names.
Nothing been suggested to acknowledge the Australians and Huguenots yet, I
think.
