It's too large to put in line here, so take a look at this link and see how many you can spot.  i.imgur.com/MQ4Or.jpgAlso, it would be totally unfair for me to post all the ones I've spotted so far, most of my department at work have been looking at this for the last half hour! |

Is there an answer guide somewhere for when we've guessed them?

Brilliant.
I've got about 35 (a couple I'm not sure of) in around 10 minutes.

Pff! What a load of rubbish. I for one have never, ever seen a station called "Bogin Fountain".

There are actually 75 to find. It's a promotion by CBS Outdoor in the form of a quiz at www.lookforlonger.com/ with prize draws for 25, 50 and all 75 correct. If you go to the site, you can double click each picture, enter an answer and it will say if you are correct or not. The answers haven't been published officially yet (although I'm sure they'll be available online somewhere), but probably will be after the 11 November deadline for entries. After spending probably about 3 hours on it, I've got 61 correct and I'm struggling with the rest. |

I've managed to get over 25 so far, although I wasn't impressed that King's Cross and King's Cross St Pancras were both wrong. No apostrophe was actually necessary.
I think that I'll be resorting to having a tube map in front of me and crossing out the ones I guess.
It is fun though.

Blummen flip. That took some time! Got them all in the end, though. Nearly two hours.  |

I was doing quite well at first but ended up in knip.
I never did work out which one was Mornington Crescent.

i got 24 then gave up... some of them are really difficult I got around 60 in the first 30 minutes or so, then it was a case of diminishing returns... the very last one (the RIP Boar) took 20 minutes of solid head scratching and poring over a tube map after I'd passed over it a dozen times or more in earlier rounds. |

I've just made it to 50! I got the RIP Pig partly by dint of getting an electronic list of underground stations and searching for words.

I have an electronic list of tube stations already set up to allow searching for words and part of words in the name (part of the quiz database), which has helped me with several but not yet the RIP pig.

I have the dead pig, but probably not most of the others - but then I've really only just started looking fully.

Electronically searchable lists won't help with some of them. For example the small mouse, which really is a very dodgy clue, IMHO. The man carrying the roped TV is brilliant though.

I haven't got either of them either. The ones I'm missing:
Roped TV
Mouse
Dead pig
hole in the road with fire
Broken drum
Woman with beer
Nuns in the hedge
Rabbit? in the hole in the hill
Bale of hay on the hill
Man shooting
Bride? and top hat on a pole

I can tell you that the man carrying a TV is NOT Luton (Lootin'). :-)

I did at first wonder if it was a reference to the riots!

Nuns in the hedge is a dark blue answer!

TQ and I have spent time on and off solving it. Up to 57 at the minute.

trt kindly helped me with the ones I couldn't get on my own. Most of them I'd have got eventually, but the hay bale on the hill particularly I'd not have done. Which ones are you struggling with?

I see what you mean about the mouse being a really dodgy clue - out of keeping with the rest of them, and I resorted to button bashing to get the answer for that one.

Chris, we have 12 left. Rope tv man is really bugging us! Most of the list above are the ones we haven't got yet.
