AIOOUE (zone 1) — one of only two stations to contain all the vowels.

OUEAI (zone 3) — the other station to contain all the vowels.

AA (zone 3) — the only station without any of the letters of UNDERGROUND in its name.

OOO (zone 2) — famously, the only station to contain none of the letters of MACKEREL, and pictured above.

IIE (zone 1) — only active tube station to contain six consecutive consonants (without spaces).

AEA (zone 9) — the highest station above sea level.

AEA (zone 2/3) — the deepest station below surface level.

A (zone 1) — only station to contain just one vowel.

AO (zone 2/3) — shortest escalator on the network.
