Rightho, followers

Took me one minute to complete this nomination for @jk_rowling for Kings Cross station.
Credit to @MForstater for the suggestion

Let's do this!

Done. Thanks.

I've now spent ages going through the EH blue plaques for women. Lots of good suggestions on there.

If they want non-binary we should suggest all the cunty ones from history they are trying to claim like James Miranda Barry or Anne Lister. Both of whom are awesome WOMEN.

Done, and will forward it on to others too.

Done!

Linda Smith for Mornington Crescent?
Yes!

Amy Winehouse is perfect for Camden.

Vivienne Westwood for Kings Road? Or is there somewhere else she is associated with?

Martina Navratilova or Serena Williams for Wimbledon.

Yes to Marie Stopes for Hampstead. I saw her plaque there recently.

I’d like to nominate Angela Carter, but not sure which station. She did live in London I think but not sure where. Or maybe she didn’t!

I feel like Warwick Avenue has to be Duffy!

Angela Carter has a blue plaque on her former home in Clapham @TinyMetalBirds

Ha, I also nominated Rosalind Franklin but for London Bridge as she has a building named after her on Guy’s Campus (I know it wasn’t King’s College when she was at kings).

I’ve also nominated Mary Seacole, Nicola Adams (although any 2012 gold winning Olympians would work), Martina, JK.

Will probably come up with a few more...

And Jo Cox for Westminster

Done!

For a more lasting momento English Heritage has a campaign to get people to nominate more women, you can submit a suggestion here. The person has to have lived in a still existing building in London and have been dead for 20 years.

Emily Pankhurst for Notting Hill?

I've filled it in for JK and MN so far, will add more in a bit. I am already thinking that this map will not be what it should be

Emmeline Pankhurst, although originally from Manchester, lived in Russell Square.

Done.
After all how do you get to Hogwarts if not through King's Cross ?

Well, if you happen to have a magic ship you can get in via the Great Lake, I suppose

Or a herd of Abraxans to fly you in.

Thanks for this too @CountFosco

@PamDenick

Adele

Not sure which station

One with platforms both sides, so you can sing

'hello from the other side'?

Beryl Bainbridge for Camden Town ?

Boudicca for Caledonian Rd ?

Mary Wollstonecraft for St Pancras
Would be lovely to have Amy W for Camden.

Yes, yes to Mary Wollstonecraft for St Pancras.
