Toronto Eglinton Line 5: Kipling-Eglinton Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

Sorry, but Kingsway Station would be a bad name for this one. As has already been stated above, when you name drop "The Kingsway" into conversation, locals understand you're either talking about the shopping strip along Bloor on either side of Royal York Road, or the area north of it… or you don't know what you're talking about.

Precisely. Taste of the Kingsway occurs along that stretch of Bloor and certainly not between the Dundas - Eglinton segment. Although I'd argue the Kingsway stretch of central Etobicoke is more exclusive and hoity toity than the Bloor section.

Nobody refers to this area as Princess Gardens. The entire stretch from Martin Grove to Royal York is collectively called Richview but for transit station purposes, that moniker will likely go to the Eglinton-Islington stop, as the high school is right at that intersection. Martin Grove Station will likely go to the stop at Martin Grove so that's also a non-starter.

Some variation of Widdicombe or Widdicombe Hill would be pretty suitable IMO as the street is just north of Eglinton and Widdicombe Hill Park is just NE of where the station will be situated.

We have a station named Osgoode. Widdicombe Hill sounds good too.
