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. Having lost Shoreditch station, they're getting a bit of a rum deal
at the moment.

Do they have much of a hope?


Didn't residents of West Hampstead once petition to have Kilburn station
renamed 'Mapesbury'? I don't see why Brick Lane residents would have
better luck.

Brondesbury would be a better name as the BR station is pretty much
next door. The main part of Kilburn is also further South East down the
A5, closer to Kilburn High Road / Kilburn Park stations.
