Several stations are named after pubs: IIRC the Angel pub at Angel is
not the original, which is gone.

Wasn't that a cake shop rather than a pub? Oh, i see it was a pub before
that.

Anyway, everyones missed the most obvious example - Heathrow Airport,
which has not one but four stations named after it!

Heathrow was a village on Hounslow Heath, which gave its name to the
airport.
