Elephant and Castle ---- Walworth North


So presumably the National Rail station close by and so happens to be
called Elephant & Castle would need to be renamed too?

AFAIK Elephant & Castle is/was the name of a pub in the area and it so
happens that other tube stations suit - Angel (Islington), Swiss Cottage
are two other examples.

Piccadilly ------------- OK (tempted to call this Soho
South, but you don't mess with the sacred)


Piccadilly Circus, not Piccadilly. And please don't for one minute
suggest renaming the tube station bang in the middle of one of London's
major landmarks....
