And don't forget Centrale in Croydon.
What's that named after?
The Centrale shopping centre. Sorry, "shopping and lifestyle
destination"http://www.centrale.co.uk
Tram information systems pronounce it as in Amsterdam, but buses seem to
say it as in Milton Keynes.
How do they say it in Milton Keynes?


And I was assuming it was meant to be Italian - Chentralay


That's one variant I've not heard. It also seems that the "innit" isn't
written


It's a while since I last visited Croydon, but in my mind's voice, I
always assumed that it would be pronounced "cent-rail".
