How Australia is failing its indigenous population. Every year on January 26, Australia Day, huge numbers of people gather to celebrate living in one of the world's safest and most affluent countries.

How Australia is failing its indigenous population

Autos - How Tube stations got their unusual names

The names of the stations, too, can seem curiously, even bizarrely, whimsical. Some seem suited better to a medieval fantasy (Knightsbridge, Queensway) or a children’s book (Piccadilly Circus, Elephant & Castle) – and others still make Londoners giggle (Shepherd’s Bush, Cockfosters). But these names weren’t chosen simply to give city-dwellers an alternate world to imagine as they hurtle beneath the capital. Some of their origins, in fact, date back millennia.

We’ve chosen 10 of our favourites to find out where their names really come from. Covent Garden: The name for this Tube station (as well as the shopping arcade, opera hall and West End neighbourhood) would be almost self-explanatory – if it weren’t for the ‘n’ that went walkabout at some point since the Middle Ages.
