How many London placenames (and, moreover, station names) are based on

Shepherd's Bush? If you also look for woods and forests, there are loads -
Wealdstone, Theydon Bois, various -woods. Add in the various Greens and
you'd barely think there was as city there at all.

Perivale, for one: 'valley with pear trees' according to 'What's in a
name'.

And apparently the seven sisters were elm trees (same source), so they
certainly aren't there any more.
