what about Seven Sisters? i know that's a road,
a roundabout and a station, but where does the
name come from (the Pleiades, i guess, but how?).


No, I think it was after a line of seven trees (The Seven
Sisters) that once upon a time lined the street.


Er... where's the roundabout at Seven Sisters?


Oops. Obviously, when i said 'roundabout', i meant 'junction'.

Sorry, not been up there in rather a while.

Is that junction called Seven Sisters? I've always known it as Wards'
Corner.

Well, that's what it says in my A-Z, although that doesn't mean that's
what locals actually call it.
