Today I found this image, overlaying London Boroughs on the London Rail and Tube Services map  (click for original) It's from 2015 so it's not bang up to date, but it's an interesting representation that I've not seen before. |

Kensington (Olympia) is the only station I see sharing a name with a borough not in that borough…
Edit, Brent Cross neither…

Except Kensington Olympia station is in Kensington & Chelsea, the boundary with Hammersmith & Fulham runs alongside the west side of track. Olympia Way is in Hammersmith & Fulham so you cross from one borough to the other when you enter or exit the station

I've just spotted an error - Fenchurch Street is shown as being in Tower Hamlets, but it's actually in the City.

The Central Line has the most stations in Ealing and Redbridge. Most of the Hainault loop in fact.

Piccadilly Line and District seem to be the only unique Underground Lines serving more than one borough, Enfield and Hackney for the former and Richmond Upon Thames and Havering the latter.
