London (Underground) Stations...
 
This is a quiz based on something I had once in a training session at work.

Below is a list of clues that point to various London underground stations. Feel free to give your own clues; I'm sure you come up with more difficult ones than mine.

No prize, just a bit of fun :)

One is not amused! - Victoria
Peruvian Bear - Paddington
Galahad crossing the Thames - Knightsbridge
Angry Arthur - Kings Cross
Cheese shape - Leicester Square
Lake near Toronto - Canada Water
A small magnolia church - Whitechapel
A gift from Sean Connery - Bond Street
Only exists under the 1982 Cavendish rules - Mornington Crescent
Snodland, for example - Kentish Town
Corsicans historically dislike this station - Waterloo
Car manufacturer - Vauxhall
African monks - Blackfriars
Flooded with cabbies!
Dorothy, Rachel, Chloe, Barbara, Holly, Jessica, Anne - Seven Sisters
A tautology of accommodation? - Mansion House/Manor House
Part of a fence that you might tie a boat to - Moorgate

Edit:
New ones I thought of on the train this morning. Possibly more obscure!

Murray a winner next summer? - Wimbledon
Open to let the carnival out - Notting Hill Gate
Precisely made, but not of gingerbread - Swiss Cottage
Phil comes here to practice bowling - Tufnell Park
A small country where children play - Holland Park

The 1982 Cavendish rules are a bit too complex for simpletons like me. Can we just stick to the standard metropolitan version with rule 2 suspended and no northern approaches.

well there are a few options ...

Rayners Lane (Lloyds use a black horse as a logo so a pun on horse reigns?)
Gloucester road - aren't lloyds head quatered in the west country?
Caledonian road - lloyds are trying to takeover bank of scotland?

but frankly it's Blackhorse road on the victoria line
