Are all these stations main line termini? If so, that's an awful
lot of stations for one city.

Broad Street and Holborn Viaduct have closed.
Waterloo East, Charing Cross and Cannon Street are all stations
accessed via London Bridge (as Blackfriars _can_ be).
Moorgate is a suburban station only.

It's pretty much one station per route, apart from those routes
serving the suburbs to the south. This is why London was the first
city to have an underground railway across the centre!
