The Story Behind the Name

Mornington Crescent was a game featured in the BBC Radio 4 comedy panel game I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. The game's rules are deliberately not explained and consisted of each player in turn announcing a landmark or street, most often a tube station on the London Underground system; the winner was the first player to announce "Mornington Crescent", a station on the Northern Line. The humour of the game was that while its rules were invoked and argued on the show, they were never explained.
