Default St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?

"Paul Terry" wrote in message But Barons
Court is an exception - it was a name invented just over 100

years ago. It didn't have an apostrophe then, and there is no real
reason to add one now.


Indeed, I seem to remember being told that there never was an
actual Baron (fictional or otherwise) after which the place/station
was named: they just called it that to p*** off the people one station
up the line.
