Elephants, castles, angels and burnt oaks! What on earth am I talking about, is it a new Harry Potter movie? I'm afraid the answer is not quite that exciting - they are all station names on the London Underground railway (the Tube).

The Tube is the oldest underground network in the world and was opened in 1890. There are 275 stations in total and many of them have very interesting names. Here are just a few:

All Saints

Barking

East India

Bank

Elephant and Castle

Shepherd's Bush

Angel

Burnt Oak

Swiss Cottage 

Mudchute
