Product Overview

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? 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 London 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 a must for anglophiles.
