Morden is the only tube station in Surrey Morden isn’t in Surrey, spiritually it is but factually it hasn’t been part of Surrey since the 60s. Even then your fact is wrong as Richmond which has the district line was also Surrey until the same period in 1965 when both became part of London.

I forgot about Richmond tube also being associated with Surrey.

By this criterion Kew Gardens, Wimbledon Park, Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon were also in Surrey until 1st April 1965.

By this criterion Kew Gardens, Wimbledon Park, Wimbledon, Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon were also in Surrey until 1st April 1965. I could go further back to the late 1800s when the Surrey border stretched all the way across modern day Lambeth, Southwark, up to the Thames itself and as far east as Bermondsey. It was in 1888 when those boroughs as well as Wandsworth were incorporated into the London area and then in 1965 the remaining northeastern sections which we know as Merton, Croydon, Kingston, Richmond and Sutton were created under the GLC. The point is that Morden, despite not being in Surrey since 1965, was not the only tube station to be built or operated in pre-1965 Surrey.

Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon were also built and operated in pre-1965 Surrey. I accept though that the District Line stations I listed are not truly tube stations; indeed in 1965 they were all being managed by British Railways.

Indeed, hence why Surrey play cricket at the Oval as Kennington was part of Surrey back then.

The District is the only Underground Line that uses bridges over the Thames.

The Metropolitan line is the only line where you can skip a zone when only travelling one stop, even on 'all stations' services (Wembley Park, 4 and Finchley Road, 2)
I know this is national rail, but Gordon Hill is the only station in London to share the name with a footballer

Gordon Hill is also the name of the 'Wealdstone Raider' (known for tormenting opposing fans at a Wealdstone game in 2013) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealdstone_RaiderFunnily enough, I saw him in Pinner a couple of months onboard the H11!

Maryland is the only station that shares a name with a US state. However the pronunciation is slightly different in the US state (Marry-land)

The Northern Line serves the most stations on its own- 36. Nine Elms and BPS helped to add to that number
