Who travelling through Totteridge and Whetstone is aware that the
station got its name from the medieval soldiers who sharpened their
swords at the whetstone before the bloody Battle of Barnet? Or that
Canary Wharf was built for importing fruit from the Canary Islands?
Or that Shepherd's Bush was previously known as Gagglegoose Green?
The names of the 300 or so underground stations are part of
everyday life for Londoners, but we hardly ever question their
meanings or history. This entertaining book delves into their
origins, ensuring you never view your journey beneath the city in
the same way again.
