I'll offer St Pauls's and 604 as the oldest yet. Can anyone beat that?
London Wall?
Aldgate?
Aldersgate?
London Bridge?
Tower Hill?
City Thameslink?
I'm not sure I understand the question.
Transport things named after a person from long ago.
Christ's Hospital
The station only dates from 1902, and the hospital's not as old as St
Paul's. But if are going to drill back, then St Paul was born in 5AD
(and Hadrian in 76AD)
On second thoughts, I'm going to narrow the definition to things
commissioned by the person. So Boris/Wellington/Belisha/Hadrian count,
but St Paul's and Christ's don't.
Nor does Cleopatra's Needle (and it's not transport related either).
Thutmose's Needle doesn't have quite such a ring to it...
