I know Highgate rather well, and approximately 50% of the street names in
this map are wrong. The renaming of Archway Road as Britannia Crescent is a
particular gem. Is Google maps generally this bad, or was the data set for
Highgate produced by someone who was just about to quit?


Google Maps is crap: Have a look at Wood Green tube station:

There were loads of erroneous railway stations (some out of sync, others
missing and some not on a railway line at all) in this part of London
too, these have been fixed by removing all stations!
