Talk:Archway tube station

Untitled
Was this renamed to Arsenal? I noticed on the Underground map on the BBC's website Arsenal is listed north of Holloway Road, not Archway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.158.248.252 (talk) 18:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Arsenal is the next stop north east from Holloway Road on the Piccadilly Line (blue line). Archway is geographically north of Holloway Road station, but on a different line (the Northern line, which is black on the map). Kilburn London (talk) 14:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

"Gave its name"
"as with other tube stations, soon gave its name to the local area."

Not clear what is meant by this- surely the station *took* the very long established name Highgate from the adjacent area? Suntzusuntzu (talk) 18:07, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have removed the statement. The statement was trying to suggest that the name of the station led to the area around it becoming know as "Archway". Where the statement was positioned, this was misleading as the area around it has never been called "Highgate", which is at the top of the hill. Informally, the area around the station is known as "Archway", but the official name of the wider area is Upper Holloway. Whilst it is not uncommon that station names come to be adopted as a name for their local area, it is not clear that the area known as "Archway" acquired that name following the renaming of the station or if it arose from Archway Road (which predates the opening of the station) or from the bridge that gives Archway Road its name (see Archway, London). --DavidCane (talk) 15:04, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
