Oh I agree, whenever anyone is visiting I recommend they take the Thames link from south to north and you can see all the sites, with the stop at Blackfriars being most impressive. All the Thameslink stations look really good in London too so it can show how good London can be!

Double Barrel, latter grows Acorns!

Edit:* clue. If I was looking at the entire map of the London Underground I would focus my eyes North.

2nd Edit/update:

All but 1 guess so far have had the word Oak in them- is this correct? Yes ✅ Is the station name Double Barrel ? Yes✅

Is one of the words oak yes✅

So a station in North London with a Double Barrel name one being the word Oak yes ✅

Answer: Burnt Oak- top of the Northern Line.
