No 'Central something' stations (not even a 'Central Park'
somewhere?), but plenty of 'Central something' thoroughfares:
according to eg p. 293 (index) of the 2000 OS/Philips London Street
atlas there are 5 cases of 'Central Avenue' in different postal
districts and another 7 in named boroughs. Also a similar frequency
of 'Central Parade' as well as a sprinking of the usual other types:
Ct., Gdns., Rd., St., Way...

And that perhaps provides an alternative way of answering the OP's
question: the rule for street names in English is that the local
identification (if any) always precedes the type of throroughfare.
Perhaps one day a new station will take its name from the adjacent
existing street, and then we'll see which rules apply.

Hmmm, which could have resulted in Queen's Drive East (instead of West
Acton) and Queen's Drive West (instead of North Ealing). :-)
