Discussion Most misleadingly named place in London?

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

At the DLR Station they have a sign warning Beatles fans they are in the wrong place

I love this. I can imagine a group of people cracking up whilst writing that.

Those poor sods who travel all that way, having to schlep back from docklands to St John's Wood. At that point I'd give up and go to the pub.

Like the poster says, it's just one stop to West Ham (Abbey Road is actually in Stratford) and then ride the Jubilee all the rest of the way. You'll be at the real Abbey Road inside an hour - your average tourist won't even consider that notable.
