Several stations are named after pubs: IIRC the Angel pub at Angel is

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!


Four? I count either three or five: H123 and Heathrow Central; two T4s; and
a T5.
