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!




According to the web site the museum is closed until the autumn, the
Depot at Acton is open this weekend (march 3/4 )
