lol so am I, and so did I! I think it was just to make sure that he got them all right …

[@brigidsingleton1596]

iPhone I'm English too & I can pronounce all of those stations.. However it niggles me to hear this guy stress that these pronunciations are _his_ & that other ways of saying them can also be heard [ie in different accents & dialects] but that his way of saying Marylebone is the correct one.. Actually the version he likes is the closest to the correct one, but _NOT_ the way he tells his audience how to say it !! It _is_ / _ought_ to be pronounced as "Mary-Le-Bon" & That IS the Correct way of pronouncing Marylebone ~ NOT "Mar-le-bone" !! Grrrrr !! Thankyou & goodnight 👍

[@franl155]

I took it to mean that he was saying that there's no "One Twue Way" to do anything. There's no "ought" about anything in life [or there shouldn't be]: we all have our own ways of doing things and saying things that are right for each of us. I say "Mare-lee-hone" and that's the right way - for me.

Little known fact: the Russian word for “railway station” is “voksal” because in the early days of railways, before there were any in Russia, Russian officials visited Vauxhall station and were so impressed they adopted the name as the generic word.

"mind the gap" you'll hear all the time in London tube. At a German train station: "ACHTUNG an Gleis ...! Ein Zug fährt durch!" all the time "ATTENTION at platform number ...! A train is passing by!" means that in English.

[@AccioPadfoot12]

I'm in the US and the only one I didn't expect was the absence of the L sound in Holborn. The rest I knew - though I used to mispronounce Vauxhall.

[@benedettobruno1669]

Sir, at 1:46 you say that "you're never gonna go to Theydon Bois". Back in July 1990, on a warm summer day, my then girlfriend and I took the Central Line to Theydon Bois to visit Epping Forest. The walk from Theydon Bois station to the forest was lovely and unforgettable: soft and tall golden grass covered fields, a blue sky and a serene village atmosphere throughout. We had no idea how to pronounce "Theydon Bois", still we are the living proof that some tourists do go to Theydon Bois.

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

Ha ha! Good story Benedetto Bruno! How funny that you've actually been there. I take it back - people may well want to visit Theydon Bois!

[@highpath4776]

Named from one of the areas that the Du Bois (more norman french invaders) got allocated - roughtly an arc over north london from High Wycombe To Chelmsford, the family split into two/three and a couple of branches fell out with the King and lived effectively as outlaws and not as Barons in the Lords !

[@mercifulzeus01]

There's a decent balti house right near Theydon Bois station as well...

[@brian_jackson]

Probably should be pronounced "teyeedon bwa", as it's French. But it's not.

[@Isleofskye]

I am glad you had a good time, my friend:)

[@webrarian]

I'm a Londoner born in the late 1950s so my pronunciation is a bit different for a few of these. Grinnidge not Grennitch is the main one. A few very elderly people probably still say Cuvvent Garden. And I learned to say Marryleb'n when I worked there. Theydon Bois is a gorgeous place with a really excellent bakery that sells traditional London Cheesecakes (topped with strips of coconut).

[@giuseppeargano940]

The suffix -ham may stem from the word "hamlet" which means "village"...

[@TryptychUK]

A hamlet is not a village, it's much smaller, usually just a collection of houses.

[@wilsjane]

What you said is correct. Fulham, originated from Foul-Ham. Prior to the embankments being constructed a Putney in the mid 19th century, the area was a flood plain with 75% under water at high tides and just a small settlement on an area of high ground. The name is still the subject of some controversy, with some people believing that the Foul refereed to the thousands of water birds who inhabited the area while skeptics say that it just refereed to the smell as the tide ran out. Considering that at the time, the Thames was used as an open sewer, they have a point.

[@fredneecher1746]

'Ham' is derived from the Old English word for 'home'. Home may mean a house or, more likely, a village. A 'hamlet' is a small 'ham', since '-let' is a diminutive.

[@mozokart2406]

Yes, I eard that the suffix ham is because the were a farm area there were the name took its place

[@franl155]

Hamlets are mini-villages. Also Tower Hamlets - the hamlets around the Tower [of London]

[@ez3291]

I mean, you can hear the voice in the car about the station you're going. I learnt it that way

[@quack10]

I lived on Queens Gate Road, St. John's Wood in the 80's. Just a few minutes walk from the St. John's Wood tube station. It took me a bit, but I eventually learned that you pronounce it, Not Saint Johns Wood...but sin johns wood, Phonetically.Do you concur? Either way, as a teenager from California....It was HEAVEN!!! Thanks for your great channel!

[@josephinebennington7247]

For Anyone who was christened with St John in their name, you would definitely address them as Sinjun. But, as a Londoner myself, I’ve NEVER heard St Johns Wood (the place) pronounced any other way than as written. Could be a temporary affectation, as was Battersea for a while, when Sloane rangers called it Batt-erzee-ah. Emphasising the middle syllable for snobby effect.

[@quack10]

@@josephinebennington7247 Thank you for your insight Josephine. And thanks for the funny tidbit about Battersea. LOL. That is quite funny.

[@pamcurrie7828]

I am a londoner born and bred but living in the western isles in scotland. I loved your video made me laugh and reminded me of home. Its funny to look at then phonetically.

[@brentwoodbay]

Even though I am British , and can say all these, I watched this to see which ones were mispronounced. Initially I was puzzled by some of the choices as I could not see how they could be mispronounced, 'Knightsbridge' for example. But then I put on my 'American accent' and I realised that the difference was in the stress, as it came out with equal stress on both syllables- KNIGHTS BRIDGE. where as , as he said, the stress is on the first syllable, 'KNIGHTS-bridge', in 'proper' English. Living in Canada, I hear these all the time, but sometimes, complete mispronunciations. Torquay Road is pronounced as 'Tor-kay' , and the 'Berwick' retirement home as 'Ber-wick'! (Tor-kee and Berrick are of course the correct way to say them!) Good video ESDE !

[@lawrencesimmons5093]

Hay on Wye is called Why Jelly - that's what the road sign says: Y Gelli. Like your name. Explanation please.

[@brentwoodbay]

@@lawrencesimmons5093 Y Gelli is the Welsh Name for Hay, which is right on the border. Is 'Why Jelly' the local pronunciation, or is that yours? In fact 'Gelli' is pronounced with a hard 'G' , like 'GET' and the 'LL' is a unique Welsh sound, that does NOT sound like 'JELLY' . Say the letter 'L', notice that the tongue rests on your upper palate, on the crest of the ridge behind your upper teeth. Leave it there and now blow without moving your tongue. That's the Welsh 'LL'. To get FAIRLY close without actually doing the LL sound, say 'Gethlee' . Gelli is the village in the Rhondda Valley in Wales where I am from originally, and means in Welsh a wooded area.

Hi, Tom. I found this subject very interesting. I’ve live In London and I did have problems on the underground asking people how to get to some tube stations. At the beginning they wouldn’t understand the name of the station I meant. By the way I lived in the London Borough of Southwark which it’s not small and never understood why that station the name of the whole borough.

I don't think I stress either the heath or the row... or I stress them both pretty equally. I live in Nottingham now and it bugs me how the locals call one of the shopping centres here "Broad-MARSH". Seems so weird stressing the "marsh" to me...

This brings back memories from almost 50 years ago when I was a young Scot recently arrived in London (not from Glasgow, but further north in the real Scottish Highlands as a guide to my accent 😉) who was asked by a female junior colleague on a Monday morning what I’d done during the weekend - I responded that I had enjoyed visiting SouthWARK Cathedral (I have no interest in religion, but architecture does appeal to me), which caused her to burst out laughing - she explained to me the correct way to pronounce it, but honestly it didn’t bother me then and doesn’t bother me now, I used it as just one more learning experience to say things how they are commonly pronounced - I’ve since had many similar “learning events” in diverse parts of the world I’ve visited for work or for leisure, although saying place names as the locals do certainly makes for a less complicated experience though 👍😂

[@davidhunt6463]

Tom, being a native Londoner I have to just say that Greenwich is pronounced Grinnidge not Grennitch and I don't know about these days but when I was a lad Marylebone was pronounced Marralebone. Top marks on Vauxhall though. Streatham was always Strettum with very soft "t"s in the middle. Hackney never had an "H" at the beginning either. Americans are the worst for emphasising the "ham" at the end of any name that has it. Southwark is more Suthuk than anything and Woolwich is most definitely Woolidge.

[@simonedmunds533]

I always thought it was Marrelebone as well so if we Brits can't agree no wonder it's confusing.

[@fredneecher1746]

@@simonedmunds533 I concur. The pronunciation 'Marlebone' is what we Londoners would call snobbish, which means trying to sound posh when really you're just a clerk. The same for 'Grennidge'. It's definitely 'GrInnidge'. The rest of this stuff was proper, though.

[@Mike-dk7wj]

Totally correct Fred. I was born and raised in London and lived there for 41 years. This guy in the video hasn't got a clue. Marralebone is the authentic pronunciation as is Grinnnidge.

[@suenix1179]

[@anghinetti]

Circus does not mean roundabout for a traffic system. It is the Latin for circle because buildings generally were constructed to form a circle, although this effect has been lost over time with some, especially Piccadilly Circus when Shaftesbury Avenue was constructed during the late-1870s and early-1880s. A clearer example is Oxford Circus but to appreciate better the appearance of a circus one should take note of The Circus, at Bath, in Somerset, especially when viewed from above.

[@bingola45]

If Trafalgar Square had been round, it would have been Trafalgar Circus. Simple, really.

[@anghinetti]

bingola45: And if Piccadilly Circus had been square it would have been Piccadilly Square.....

[@bingola45]

Beats me how people get confused.

People have copied the tube announcement and it's now common practice, but it grates every time I hear it.

[@DutchNomadFamily]

Oh men, we must have miss pronounced all the names in our recent video about London. Sorry about that, but the Tube is a great system to move around the city.

[@EatSleepDreamEnglish]

Yes - it's very useful! I'll have to check out your video Dutch Nomad Couple.

[@CrazyInWeston]

I like to think its one of the worlds best... I mean it IS the worlds oldest system going and its still topping the charts of easy to read/navigate and get by.

[@arifianashima9641]

Went to the Borough Market a few weeks ago, I highly recommend it for all who visit London!

One newsreader for RTHK3 Hong Kong must have watched this video. He always says "West'm" for West Ham.

[@englishciderlover7347]

Many years ago, I heard some DJ or newsreader on a London radio station pronounce Loughton as LUFFton. I've also heard a station announcer at Liverpool Street pronounce Highams Park as HIGGums Park.

[@blueberry11051]

Very helpful.Thank you.

Australians pronounce “Loughborough Junction” as “Looga-boroogah Junction”

I’m a skip and never been over to there but I’d think it’s a lowbra not good with the phonetics just watched a lot of aunty (on the box) I hope I could get around the tube when I eventually go.

[@bryan3550]

Only Some Australians pronounce it that way...

[@jenniewb4829]

Thank you for doing this! I am a UK/Londoner and one of the things that makes us laugh sometimes is when people say "ham" and not "hm"- it shows them up as a tourist rather than someone who has been here a while! I also live in Greenwich- it is FULL of tourists saying "Green-Witch"....don't even get me started on those that jump off at North Greenwich station and ask "where's the big ship?" and you have to tell them it's about an hours walk away or a bus which can take up to an hour depending on traffic. They seem very confused that the tube station is nowhere near the town Center! Until they put a tube station there, that area didn't even have a name, it's closer to Charlton (no pronunciation of the 'L' there btw) than it is to Greenwich!
