Britain’s Longest Station Name

In 1869, a Welsh village adopted the name Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch as a publicity stunt to give its railway station the longest name in Britain. The name translates to "St Mary’s Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool of Llantysilio of the Red Cave."
