I suspect the link is birds. I'm going to +1 White Hart Lane, Canary Wharf (Crossrail) and Heron Quays and add that B is Goldhawk Road. A will be the odd one out as it's an animal, not a bird. I'm not sure what should replace it though as there are multiple other 'bird' stations on the network.

+1 for Goldhawk Road for B.
White Hart Lane should be replaced by Turkey Street. That then gives a bird-related station name on each of Overground, Underground, Crossrail and DLR.

Ah, that would make sense. Turkey Street isn't the only bird-related name on the Overground though. There's also Finchley Road & Frognal.

I have heard rumours that there might be a football club based at White Hart Lane which has a bird as its emblem.
Isn't a bird what you get at Hatch End?

If we're going to bring up stations that are only somewhat bird-related then how about Peckham Rye?

Full House, with bonus points to kesmet for spotting the different systems - something which isn't mentioned on my answer card for today!

Turkey Street station has always fascinated me. Being a town dweller, where Palmerston Street is likely to be near Russell Street and Peel Street, I always intended to visit it, to find out if the next street is Goose Street or Greece Street. What a disappointment to find no related streets whatsoever. There's a Turkey Brook; but still no indication of which Turkey it refers to!
