Credit to @MForstater for the suggestion

Let's do this!

Erin Pizzey for Chiswick would be great. She opened the first women's refuge for domestic abuse victims in the UK in 1971.

I've nominated Martina for Southfields. Despite the name, Wimbledon is actually a fair old hike from the tennis club, and even Wimbledon Park is further than Southfields. So like all women should I'm remaining true to my South of the River self. Will this bugger up the count?

Mind you, Erin is sounding well dodgy now.

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

There is no Kings Road station and the Kings Road shop is at Worlds End (famously miles from a station) - so it would be either Slone Square or Fulham Broadway? Perhaps South Ken?

Hibo Wardere for Walthamstow

Mary Anning for south ken, near the natural history museum where her amazing fossil finds are displayed?

Amazing woman- Her findings contributed to changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth, but as a woman, she was not eligible to join the Geological Society of London and she did not always receive full credit for her scientific contributions.

If only she had thought to identify as a man....

Honestly I think its best to name things after people who are no longer alive.

I would nominate Gwyneth Bebb. She was the plaintiff in Bebb v Law Society, arguing that she should be admitted as a member if she passed the exam.

Unfortunately she lost her case (The Law Society successfully argued that the term 'person' didn't include women), and wasn't able to take full advantage of the Sex Disqualification Removal Act 1919 because she died following complications due to Placentia Previa in 1921.

I wouldn't nominate her for Holborn tube station because it is near Lincoln's Inn.

Sorry I WOULD nominate her for Holborn.

Done

Virginia Woolf for Richmond Station

Lilian Board - Greenford.
A fantastic athlete who died of cancer very young.

Splendid idea, thanks. I’ve just nominated fabulous JK Rowling

Mary Donaldson for Mansion House. First female lord mayor of London.

Also Millicent Fawcett for Westminster

Queen Elizabeth I for Richmond (site of her palace)
