The origins of station names on the London Underground and Docklands Light Rail.

  • What style of dress gave its name to a well-known London landmark?
  • Why does a district of London take its name from a church with a bull's head?
  • Which gardens were given to the nation by Queen Victoria?
  • Where were fires lit to guide travellers across London?
  • Who had his coffin made from a special oak tree?

What's in a name? gives the answers to these and many other questions. It contains the name-origins and history of all the Underground stations, the dates they were opened and any former names they may have had.

This fascinating book is a 'mini- history of London and parts of the surrounding counties.
