Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Green Lines?
Has anyone else noticed that at a certain scale (about five notches from the top, whatever that is) Google Maps changes the name of the station to Harringay Green Lines? It's normal again closer in or further out.
Most bizarre - has it always been like this? And we complain that people can't spell Harringay?

Yes, it's a freaky typo. Not the weirdest thing I've spotted on Google Maps of late though.
Other anomalies I've spotted are the northern part of the M25 being listed as "autoroute brittanique M25" at a certain zoom level for a while (now seems to be fixed), and continuing bizarre labels over Mayfair ("The May Fair") and White City ("White Stadt"). Chelsea Royal Hospital is also labelled in French.
Anyone else picked other oddities up?

Finsbury Park doesn't seem to count as a park - it's grey rather than green like other parks. I'm a bit confused to be honest. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't count as a green space. I don't know how long it's been like that.

It's a long story. They wore me down! I gave up. Anyone else want to pick it up?

Noel Park is listed as Tottenham. If anyone knows how to get things changed on Google Maps, advice appreciated.

Weird you should say that, as I noticed a year or so ago that Noel Park suddenly gained a huge font and jumps out at you when you view the area, even from a fair distance (As 'Noel Park'). I almost wondered if someone at Google lived there. A friend of mine lives there and had also picked up on this.
From a much greater distance isn't it fair enough that it should be part of Tottenham though? Isn't it technically part of Tottenham?
