It looks like Inset A1 and inset A3 are all that remains to be guessed...
I'll do a proper answer post within the hour if no one else gets there first, but as it stands the following have all been guessed correctly:
A: Highbury and Islington A2: Tram at Elmers End B: Hackney Central C: All Saints C Insert: Tracey Emin Statue D: Peckham Rye

Insets A1 and A3, the link and the 5th in the set are still to identify: Station A: Highbury & Islington - top of stairs from NB Victoria and NR platforms [Chris M]. This was spotted by most of you, but @mtmikethom was the first (click for a larger version) Inset 1: Still to find (click for a larger version) Inset 2: Stadtler Variobahn tram at Elmers End [Chris M]. Deep Level was the first to identify this. (click for a larger version) Inset 3: Still to identify (click for a larger version) Station B: Hackney Central - eastbound platform 2 [Chris M]. More points for @mtmikethom (click for a larger version) Station C: All Saints - view from a northbound train [Chris M]. To the surprise of nobody, Deep Level gets points for identifying a DLR station. (click for a larger version) Inset: "Roman Standard" by Tracey Emin - The Oratory, Liverpool Cathedral [Rincew1nd]. @progressingnicely recognised this as a Tracey Emin piece, which gets the points even if it is outside a different religious building. (click for a larger version) Station D: Peckham Rye - new seats awaiting installation [Chris M] Rich32 was the scorer of these points. (click for a larger version) Link: Still to identify5th in the set: Still to identify

Ok a wild stab in the dark.....
Is the current name the second one after a name change? e.g Highbury - Highbury & Islington Mare Street - Hackney Central
