Looking just on the London Tube and Rail map[0] alone, there's plenty of both odd and amusing station names (East India! Cockfosters! Cyprus! Barking! Elephant and Castle!), and many that are pronounced completely differently to how they appear (the number of visitors who I hear ask for directions to 'Lie-chester Square' for example!).
