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. http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&ll...,0.002409&z=19 |

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: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&hq...,0.008256&z=18 Freight connection between the Met and the Midland Main Line near Finchley Road tube: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&hq...,0.008256&z=18 |

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! M |

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. |
