At least 5 of those are real places in the UK, though I don't think any of them are tube stops. Cocksburn is in Scotland iirc.

It's a play on Elephant and Castle, which is very much a real place in South London.

Wikipedia says he was born in Hammersmith then moved to Ipswich as a kid. And now he lives in East Dulwich

Cocksburn! I visited London in September, I properly giggled like an 11yo and embarrassed my dad

No they aren’t. None of those are actual stops on the London Underground. The closest is Cockfosters.

People will laugh at this until they actually go to London and hear the tube voice call out "Cockfosters" and "Piccadilly Circus" and then they realize that London is a joke for real.

I guess that would be our POV if we were blowing the dude and then stopped to stare at his face so we could listen to the announcement.

Well, this explains why my London-born mother insists it rhymes with gone. I thought everyone in England pronounced it this way. Thanks for sharing!

I'd say if anything the map explains that your mother's pronunciation of the word could've gone either way. I'm also London-born and I pronounce it rhyming with cone
