The Guardian reported in March that White Hart Lane station was to be rebranded after the football club lobbied the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, and Transport for London (TfL). TfL was even in the process of finalising an order for new station signs before the move was apparently derailed. “It also looks like they were preparing to go ahead with the renaming without a public consultation. Asked why the name change did not take place, Khan’s office said no decision had been finalised and discussions between TfL, Tottenham and external partners were ongoing. It added: “If plans progress, there will be public engagement with local residents and stakeholders ahead of any renaming taking place.”A TfL spokesperson said: “Discussions are ongoing around a potential commercial partnership with Tottenham Hotspur football club.
