Brick Lane

What do you think of the petition by Brick Lane residents and shop and
restaurant owners to get Aldgate East renamed "Brick Lane" to boost
the area.
I hope they don't get their way. The station isn't in Brick lane, or very
near it.
At the junction of St Helens Gardens and Oxford Gardens there is a sign
saying...
--- Latimer Road Station
Latimer Road ------
.... or something similar. To me, this is a clear indication that Latimer
Road station needs to be renamed. If Aldgate East station was renamed to
Brick Lane, we would then need signs telling people that Brick Lane is this
way, but Brick Lane Station is that way.
Aldgate East station is in Whitechapel High Street. It should probably be
called Whitechapel, and Whitechapel should be called something else!
