The Anonymous Widower

Abbey Road Station

In the next few days or so, cable thieves permitting, the new extension of the DLR will open to Stratford International.

This will mean there will be a new station called Abbey Road.

I wonder how long after it opens, the first tourists turn up looking for the famous recording studios, where the Beatles made most of their records.

Perhaps the station should have been called Abbey Mills or Bazalgette, in honour of the Northern Outfall Sewer and the Abbey Mills Pumping Station nearby.
