Really? Not Waterloo and City?

I haven't used it for years but I'm pretty sure it said "To Bank" or something
like that tho perhaps it does say "City". At any rate , it doesn't use compass
directions.

Public signs say Bank (or 'To Bank'), not City (or 'To City'). I think
the W&C line station at the Bank end was indeed once called (and
signed) "City", so things would likely have been different then (CULG
doesn't help me on this though).

Yes, it opened in 1898 as "City", changing to "Bank" in 1900 when the
City and South London extended to Moorgate (although the CSLR station
was originally proposed to be called "Lombard Street").
