If this works it shows (allegedly) 75 stations in the London area mostly Lul.
No I do not have the answers yet, even I do other things than sit in front of the computer.

I can't find 75 stations, but here are a few:

Limehouse
Mile End
East Ham
West Ham
Lancaster Gate
Knightsbridge
Marble Arch
Swiss Cottage
Seven Sisters
Angel
Elephant & Castle
Shepherds Bush
Shooters Hill
Barking

Warren Street

A bit too much focus on North London for someone born South of the Thames, but good fun nonetheless! :hmmm:

Or Borough (burrow)

Just realised that the can on the street is Cannon Street and not Canon's Park.
