Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

It's "stuff marked as an interchange on the map".

We'll move to West Ealing then.

I presume you mean Drayton Green as West Drayton isn't on the Greenford Branch,nor is it adjacent to Ealing Broadway!

[I also presume a couple of moves ago that you went to Edgware Road (Bakerloo),not Edgware Road (Circle/H&C/District), which being a separate station (not shown as an interchange with the Bakerloo station on the map),remains in the game as a potential winning move (though perhaps slightly superfluous as Regent's Park is also a potential winning move from Baker Street).]

I decided to exclude OSIs because any station is potentially within an OSI of any other station (if you keep running long enough!) and I didn't want to wind up with an argument as to what was an acceptable OSI!
