C - King George V (+1). Wayward guess for link, but have these stations been termini, before the line was extended?

etr220 gets the points for B, while Deep Level scoops those for A and C (Deep Level identifying DLR stations? Whodathunkit?) Station D is still to be identified, Rich32's guess is probably the furthest away but which of Melikepie or Jeebeelodo are closer I don't know without looking at a map (and I'm too tired to do that). Only image C was modified, but here are the others as well: Station A: Elverson Road - CCTV camera post [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station B: Northwick Park - station from corner of Rushout Avenue and Northwick Avenue [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station C: King George V - totem from platform [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Station D: (click for a larger version)

So Station D is a NW London Station then. Sudbury Town or Sudbury Hill (can't tell which one is which, sometimes gets confused between them.

I'm fairly confident (but not certain) that that's not Sudbury Hill

The link is nothing to do with termini, but is to do with geography.

Sorry, I should have said that you were correct about D being in the NW quadrant of London.

I think the connection is that all the stations have a public footpath across the station by the subway or footbridge. On that basis I'll go for Moor Park for D.

It's geography rather than station features.
It is a park, but not Moor.

Woodside Park is a bit too "North" rather than "North West".
So, to clarify we are looking for a station that is something park, and shares a geographical location feature with Elverson Road, Northwick Park and King George V.

Belsize Park? And is the link something to do with hills/gradients?

Still not west enough, gradients and the like is not what is on the card.

It's not about railway geography.

None of them are located on main roads, they are all on residential streets.
