I recently found myself outside Chalk Farm needing to micturate.
J.D.Wetherspoons provides adequate toilets and coffee and has a web site

well turn round and say that one should in fact state the name of the
station as "Liverpool Street station", so as to avoid confusion with
the street from which the station takes its name.

No! It does seem plausible. Exit gate 49 at Moorgate has had a failed
