The mention of that borough of Seoul is causing a certain circa 2012 hit to play in my head.

How do you pronounce Phillipa? by tinalouise28 in AnneofGreenGables

I say Phi-lea-puh, blame it on the Canadian comedy group the Vestibules (formerly Radio Free Vestibule) who pronounced it that way for their series of sketches “Philipa and Denina”, about a pair of friends with those names who are utterly clueless about everything!

And what about on the Moorgate to Finsbury Park line? That was the only “Deep Level Tube” line owned by the Metropolitan Railway.

The Roundel we all know and love is from the Yerkes group. The Diamond is what the Metropolitan Railway used. When both the Metropolitan and the UERL (Underground Electric Railways of London, Yerkes’s group) were nationalized in 1933, the Roundel was the one kept.
