Most of them are obvious (Stratford or Crossharbour for instance).
Of the more esoteric ones Mudchute is the one most people ask
about.
It's near a raised public park that resulted from the earth from
the
digging out of the docks on the Isle of Dogs being dumped
(*chuted*)

Original plan was to call Mudchute Millwall Dock.

The residents feared that Millwall fans would turn up, and unable

Never heard that one - but as a local resident I applaud the
