Well White City is a station. It's also a locale and a building (and a demolished stadium ;). (BBC White City, aka the evil grey fortress of doom ;) Now they all happen to be in the same area so that's not a huge problem, although there's still a five minute walk between the tube platform and the building (as I know you know Jason ;). However that's not always the case. Turnham Green is actually a hell of a lot closer to Chiswick Park tube station, than Turnham Green tube station. Then you've the case of the large number of Shepherds Bushs... Anyway that's just a silly point ;) IIRC on TfL's journey planner (the software of which is used in various parts of the country), stations are on the place of interest list.
