Honor Oak Park Station

Honor Oak Park station is on the East London Line and it is a station I passed through on the way to see Ipswich play at Crystal Palace this afternoon.

But why is it spelt the American way?

It is actually spelt in the proper old English way from the Latin roots, which of course Americans would have originally used. There is a discussion here. Note that the girl’s name as in, the actress, Honor Blackman is also spelt without the u.

So don’t write to London Overground and complain!
