Does anyone know where Preston Road is? Or Elversen Road? Or any number of
other Roadal stations in London?

Some Roadal etc stations are named after roads which have changed their name
since the station was initially named. You may find that what was once
called Preston Road is now Preston Street or Preston Avenue - I think quite
a lot of roads were renamed in the mid 1900s to avoid duplicate road names
(and hence confusion of postal addresses).
