Yes. The node here https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2354980085/history was changed from a place=locality to a tourism=information  8 years ago, perhaps mistakenly in this changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/49906667 (weird mixture of other things going on in that change, which makes it look like a mistake)

Should "Oxford Circus" a labelled place? I admit I don't really know what rules we're following for labelling places in the dense city centre. Tube stations like this tend to become the names of neighbourhoods, so maybe not necessary to duplicate that info. Nearby we only have https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2gX4 "East Marylebone" and "Mayfair" as nodes and "Soho" as an area.
