How many London placenames (and, moreover, station names) are based on
trees? Seven Sisters, Sevenoaks, Royal Oak, Burnt Oak, Poplar ...


I thought Poplar was called Poplar 'cos lots of people like it.

IGMC.


Well, most of the announcers on the DLR solemnly tell you that "The next

Better than the next station being Oval, it always looks long and thin
like the others, to me.
