Default St Johns Wood or St John's Wood?

Something I wondered as I took a rare journey north of Baker Street
on the Jubilee Line the other day.


The on board scrolling displays and the tube maps say it is spelt St
John's Wood with apostrophe but the platform roundels omit it.


So which is right?


Both, neither who knows.

On Wikipedia the principle that a lot are generally happy with (at
least the last time I'm aware this came up) is to use the current
tube map spelling on the basis that station decorations take a lot
longer to change


But hasn't St John's Wood recently been refurbished? If the platform
roundels are new, were the apostrophes also omitted on the old ones?

and some platforms use multiple stations (e.g.
King's Cross St. Pancras Circle/H&C/Met) so this is the only real
consistent standard.


Not sure what point you're making there. King's Cross St Pancras is
AFAIK the consistent name for all the LU platforms there.
