Why is it called St John's Wood?
Jubilee
Where the name comes from
Named after the district. Its manor, Lileston, passed in 1312 to the Knights of St John; their name was given to a wood on the manor, which in turn named St John's Farm.
Worth knowing: Tube maps from late 1938 and early 1939 show the station under a planned name, Acacia Road.
