I don't see how the title of a museum about war and weapons could
avoid upsetting anyone.

Well, i wouldn't rename anything (well, i would, but not because of
this - having two stations called Edgware Road is intolerable, for
example).

Since there are three huge roads called Edgware Road in London, and
none of them is actually in Edgware, having even one station called
Edgware Road is intolerable!

So you'd advocate renaming Oxford Street, York Way/Road and Liverpool Street
as well, would you?

I do agree that on the ground of cpnfusion, there should only be one station
with each name: Edgware Road, Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith are candidates
for this rationalisation.
