If that is Euston Victoria Line then Mornington Crescent. 
If, as I fear, it is Euston Northern Line then I shall invoke Shaw's Parallel and zip off to Cockfosters.
I was unable to calculate which of the two it ought to be from an assessment of the game conditions and so Wombat basically has the decision in his hands. I expect him to be entirely sporting and honest in his revelation.

On the contrary, there will be much fooling around.
Walford East - the enders ghost station.
And molly, Nelly told me that you left your trousers on the floor next to the washing basket again and she'll only wash things you put inside. If she's told you once.....

It also featured in an Alan Moore Swamp Thing story.
Literature! What are you, literature?
You are ST. JAMES'S PARK , site of an old leper colony and home to the Royal Family. No change there, then....
By the way St Leo- I pronounce you schismatic, heretic and anathematize you:
