Extra bits of information: The original cryptic clue was long because the station name itself is quite long.

Yes!
Angel as a synonym for Saint.
Budeaux as similar to Bordeaux, the capital of the French region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Ferry as in the port of Dover.
Road as driving up the A2.
Thanks- I had it that Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the South West and in France hence the French sounding name ‘Budeaux’ - same result

Eek, sorry. I'd forgotten that I'd set this one. Not Homerton, I'm afraid.
Clue: the second part of the station name is where you would find two streets intersecting

Time to put this one out of its misery, methinks. The answer is Pye Corner. My clues probably weren't helping matters!

Getting much warmer geographically -- but, no. (The word "haven" doesn't feature.)
