Default Stations named after commercial entities

I see that the DLR has "Custom House for ExCel", the latter being

Why would that be a problem any more than the fact that there hasn't
been a working Customs House there for ages either?

And I don't think another famous DLR station is anywhere near a
working Wharf for ships from the Canary Islands...

Although the same could be said for Olympia.


And don't forget Centrale in Croydon.
