Default St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?
In article Mark B writes:
Which is right,
St James' Park (on the signs)
St James Park (in the FGW Timetable)
Pronounced St James's Park, both locally and on the AutoAnouncer

I think you never will know which is right. If I remember right, there
are Earl's Court and Barron's Court, both with and without apostrophe.
LT uses the apostrophe in one of them, the street signs use it on the other.
