All stations and ghost stations Where the name comes from From the hamlet of Charing, from Old English ċierring, a river bend in the Thames, and the Eleanor cross that marked the site. The claim that it comes from French chère reine, "dear queen", is a folk etymology: the name predates Eleanor's death by at least a century.
