Rare perhaps but unfortunately there are some other mistakes--near me it spells the stop as Broadoaks Way, but the road is Broad Oaks Way. Similarly, the pronunciation on the bus is slightly incorrect. The stop just after is incorrect-with a different but correct road name for where it is, but with school at the end of the road name. No such school exists.
Similarly nearby, the pronunciation of 'garage' is incorrect, leaning too heavily into sounding like 'garridge' rather than 'garage', with the correct stress ending the word with 'arge'.

The colloquially pronunciation of most London bus drivers is “garridge” which is probably why this was adopted

The antithesis of Coulsdon, sometimes misspelt as Coulsden - but not on bus stops.

Until a couple of years ago, the bus shelter at the terminus of route 169 bore the legend 'City Hall, The Glade'. Only when the shelter was replaced did the correct name appear as 'Clayhall, The Glade'. I took a photograph of the incorrect name as I thought no-one would believe me!

Opposite Brixton Garage, one of the new 'floating' bus shelters bears the legend Thames Barrier rather than Telford Avenue. Perhaps a new paint job will be commissioned once the extensive road works on Streatham Hill are complete.

After Meridian Square Stratford was remodelled about 18 years ago the bus stop q tile was 'Towards Stanstead airport' It took about 2 years to get it change with head office in total denial. Around the same time lots of stops said 'towards Kier Hardy estate' for routes 147 and 241 and had been like that for years with nobody apparently noticing. Quietly changed to Keir.

If this is stop F then Streetview in June 2021 the blurry lettering appears to say 'towards Cricklewood, Neasden or Brent Cross Shopping Ctr' - can't see how Neasden is spelt and Cricklewood seems to be a bit misleading, the 2009 image has different wording, but the resolution isn't good enough to make a guess.
The 'Brent Cross Shopping Centre' part at the bottom was the traditional white on a red background which means another small update has taken place, and the tiles for routes which terminated at Brent Cross Shopping Centre have been removed.

One of the roundels on the eastbound (or outer rail, as I think they call it) at Edgware Road carried the spelling "Edgeware". Though as I can't see any proof online of it I am wondering if my memory is starting to play tricks - it was an old sign, and I last saw it about 20 years ago.

Bus stop P on Haymarket (Haymarket / Charles II Street) appears on TfL's website and journey planner as Haymarket / Charles Il Street, and on the bus stop itself as Haymarket / Charles 11 Street.

For many years the metal line diagram at the bottom of the stairs for the town bound platform at East Putney showed the District Line terminating at Edgeware Road. It only changed when the sign was replaced.

Similarly, on the Thameslink platform 9 at Wimbledon, the sign for destinations about 20 years ago referred to “St Hellier” (with 2 Ls).
I do have a photo on an ancient computer, that is long beyond being accessible.

Those route numbers look special together and somehow connected. All have consecutive numbers as well.

And, arguably, "King" is now misspelt as "Prince".

I've never worked out the difference between Beacontree and Becontree. One's on the District line and one's on buses.

My favourite remains the bridge damage information plaque opposite Willesden Green station, declaring the location as "Wham Lane Bridge".

My local stops at the end of Telegraph Place were incorrectly labelled Telegraph Palace for a little while which was an unexpected upgrade I rather enjoyed while it lasted.

I believe Becontree and Beacontree (Avenue), as a bus destination are different places.
