Similarly where do I go to tell TfL that "Queen Mary & Westfield College"

bus stops, timetable and DLR area map? This one seriously annoys me - QMW
is seriously out of date and everything now says QMUL.

Despite it not being terribly sensical. Queen Mary *what*? It's clearly
not an actual queen - nor is it a university of London!

No but it's named after a Queen (Mary of Teck aka Mrs George V). And it is
part of the University of London (one of the loyalist parts of the lot). I
guess whoever originated the style (there's also "Birkbeck, University of
London", "Royal Holloway, University of London" and now "Goldsmiths,
University of London") may have been thinking of "Queen's University of
Belfast" or "State University of New York" or somesuch.

I *think* RHUL started it.
