Farthest out "Exit for" announcement

[Kilopylae]

Some central London stations have an announcement similar to "Change here..." saying something like "Exit here for..." a local attraction like Madame Tussauds. There are a small handful of these beyond central London - e.g. Wembley Park has "Exit here for Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena".

Which stations beyond central London have these announcements and do we know which is the furthest afield?

Finsbury Park has 'exit here for the Emirates Stadium' on GN local services and Thameslink. IIRC Jubilee line services at North Greenwich advertise the O2 and Cable Car.

Does Willesden Junction have Harlesden centre in announcements, or only on signs?

 

[announcements]

Greenwich on the DLR has a "for Cutty Sark" included in the station name, followed by a "for Greenwich University" subscript.

All Saints DLR has a "for Crisp Street Market"

And, of course, Canning Town has as "exit here for London City Hall!"

I assume Custom House has the Excel centre?

Not the tube - but Northumberland Park and maybe some of the Overground Stations around there for Spurs perhaps (unsure).

Oh yes, on the Overground, there's an Exit for Middlesex Hospital at Silver Street.

Only the signs I believe.

This might be the farthest one...

North Middlesex University Hospital, to be pedantic. My little'un was born there.

Is this further away than Wembley though? I'd posit they were pretty similar distances from the centre of London. Silver Street is closer to the North Circular than the stadium (I know this is NOT necessarily relevant!)

Oops, I thought this referred to "farthest away from the attraction announced".

London Zoo (announced at Regent's Park Bakerloo Line) is completely the wrong side of Regent's Park.
Baker Street and the 274 bus is the easiest route.

Silver Street to Liverpool Street's 12.7 km / 7.9 miles by rail, and Wembley Park to Baker Street's 10.8 km / 6.7 miles. It's 7.9 miles as the crow flies from Trafalgar Square to Silver Street and 7.6 miles to Wembley Park.

North Mids is one of the main sites where my employer works and it does feel farther out than Wembley, but they're both in Zone 4 so that's purely subjective.

Harlesden has Central Middlesex Hospital in announcements but only on Overground trains. It's a 15-20 minute walk from the station but 5 minutes if taking the bus.

Fair enough! Silver Street famous for summat, who would have thought it...!
