King William Street
 

You might be amused to see that Google Maps calls the Bank end of King
William Street/Lombard Street "King William Street tube station" if you
zoom in far enough.

Google Maps has many weird historical anomalies - for example it still
shows some railway lines closed during WW2 and dismantled in the 60s!

Former NLL branch to Isle of Dogs - the locality in question long
overbuilt:

Freight connection between the Met and the Midland Main Line near
Finchley Road tube:

This map would be more believable if it did not show the Met line,
Finchley Road station and Finchley Road at a considerable distance from
each other! How do they do it?

More amusingly, they've moved West Hampstead (Jubilee) away from the
station, and plonked it on the NLL. No icons on the actual Jubilee
station!

Well, it also shows that every Overground station has a tube station
nearby - I'd imagine they just tried to show both NR logo and LUL
roundel together but in some case (like for example new ELR stations:
Hoxton, Haggerston, etc) they are rather separate.

If you click on them, it links you to the appropriate Wikipedia
article. I believe the Wikipedia write-ups have lat/long attached, and
Google Maps has picked them up as a place of interest. Unfortunately
it doesn't seem to discriminate about who might find such information
interesting useful...

Thanks, that explains why so many closed stations are marked as points,
but not why some stations, such as "King William Street tube station"
and "Brompton Road tube station", have been given roads named in their
honour.
