The 2 London Underground stops right next to each other that really need new names

Two Tube stops on the map are causing confusion among commuters and tourists alike, as they share the same name but are actually different stations.

West Londoners will be familiar with the puzzling situation at Edgware Road, where one station serves the Bakerloo line and another caters to the Circle, District and Hammersmith and City lines.

It's a nightmare for unsuspecting tourists who emerge from the Bakerloo line only to find they're at the wrong station for their Circle line change.

A five-minute walk around the corner is required to reach the correct station - a simple renaming could save a lot of confusion.

If you want to travel between them via the Tube, you'd need to take a train to Paddington and change there - another station that's technically two separate ones.

To add to the confusion, there's an Edgware station on the Northern line, but it's located near Stanmore so it's less baffling. Hammersmith is another head-scratcher, being two different stations.

Even more perplexing, getting between them on the Tube requires 10 stops and three different line changes.
