I'm sure you're talking about St John's Wood. Swiss Cottage is a bit too urban looking to be considered quiet, wealthy and residential.
Barking.
Facts that you might not know about Barking:
In 1973 Barking was the first station to be removed from Central London for being too noisy. A commitee against its location lead by Rose ''rebel'' Petal pushed for it to be located in the east of the city after a lengthy legal battle that involved residents of Barking chaining themselves to wheelchairs.
