No, this is the Piccadilly Line we're talking about, where east is
north and east is west and south is west and, one can only assume, at
Baron's Court west is east.

Fair enough! I remember some slightly ridiculous discussion over what
constituted what direction was "officially" what, with some arguing
that regardless of what the compass might say, what LU said was the
"official" direction meant that is what it was. To which I thought,
balls, East is East!

I don't think so, but at Cockfosters, West is East.

Yep, passengers heading towards Cockfosters are heading west (even
though the signs say east). Therefore passengers heading from Baron's
Court to Earl's Court - which is also towards Cockfosters - must also
be heading west, whatever the so-called signs say.
