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.


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

Would that be the Blue Angel by any chance between the old tube
station and the RBS offices?
