We start at [where else]

Unfortunately Mornington Crescent doesn't have any connections therefore there can be no winner

 

A short hop to:

Hyde Park Corner.

Where is located Constitution Arch, the memorial to The Duke of Westminster

 

STOCKWELL

OVAL

The British Infantry Square was originally oval.
Subsequently, Drill Sgts were invented to make the shape neater and enable people standing at the corners to be attacked from both sides at once.

 

Course there is:

1. Used as a bomb shelter during WWII

2. It was named after the Earl of Mornington, brother of the Duke of Wellington.
