The Bakerloo Line is named after The Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, which first opened from Baker Street to Kennington Road (now Lambeth North) in 1906.

A writer at The Evening News coined the name "Bakerloo" as an abbreviation for the Railway. The Company quickly accepted it and used it officially from July 1906.

The very first Bisto product, in 1908, was a meat-flavoured gravy powder, which rapidly became a bestseller in the U.K. It was added to gravies to give a richer taste and aroma. Invented by Messrs Roberts & Patterson, it was named "Bisto" because it "Browns, Seasons, Thickens In One".

[Editor: Take the initial letters of "Browns, Seasons, Thickens In One", and one is left with B S T I O. The only reasonable word that can be formed from such letters is "BISTO".]
