The name "Stopatum" is said to have originated from a popular expression in the 1930s that came from a music hall joke. A person is asked where they will go for their summer holiday and they would reply "Stopatum" meaning they would stay at home as a holiday was not affordable.

At the current London Underground Training facility the mock-up station is named West Ashfield.
