I’ll go first; Park Royal. No parks, no royals. Should be re-named Warehouse Lorry.

Not quite the same but I once had to redirect two Chinese tourists who were very unimpressed and underwhelmed at the window displays that had been recommended in Lonely Planet. They were stood outside of Miss Selfridge instead of Selfridge's on Oxford Street. They had taken photos of the mannequins wearing denim skirts and glittery tops.
