The same thing happens at York Street station, on the Piccadilly
Line.

York Street?

ITYM York Road?

Why *did* some London roads change from "X Road" to "X Street" or
vice-versa? Was it an attempt to reduce the number of duplicate
street names in different parts of London?

Almost certainly. There was a vogue for it in various places early in the last century.
