Do you feel the same way about cricket? If so, what alternative but
distinctive name would you therefore propose for Oval?


"Kennington Oval", as it's the name of the road there. Perhaps shortened
to "Oval"....

You wouldn't want to suggest renaming "Trent Bridge" (in Nottingham) on
all the bus timetables, just because there's a cricket ground nearby,
would you?


In that case, Upton Park station should be renamed West Ham. That'll
alleviate any confusion.
