Bicester

Bicester has a railway station named after a shop, and the town has had to live with what that says about it ever since. Visitors arrive by the trainload for discounted handbags at Bicester Village, walk past a medieval priory and a market square without breaking stride, and go home convinced they have been to Bicester. They have been to a shop. The people who live in the real one got the London trains that came with the name change, which is the kind of deal a town makes once and then stops bringing up at dinner.
