B might be Limehouse. D inset: Kingsway subway + 1 D main: Brixton (or possibly Stockwell or Vauxhall)? - I seem to remember from reading "The story of the Victoria Line" by John Day that the Queen opened the main part of the Victoria line, a princess opened the Brixton extension and a Mayor opened Pimlico. (Now for a complete aside, that was the first book I bought about the underground, and I bought it at the London Transport museum in Syon Park.)

You have B, D and the inset in D: Location A: I'm surprised nobody took a guess at this one. Maybe this version will help (click for a larger version) Inset A1: I thought this would be easy! (click for a larger version) Inset A2: (click for a larger version) Location B: Barking - top of ramp from subway to platforms 1 and 1A [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location C: This image is unmodified - it is tricky but getting the link will make it clear where it is (click for a larger version) Location D: Brixton - plaque in ticket hall [anonymous] (click for a larger version) Inset D: Kingsway Tunnel [londonstuff] (click for a larger version) As an aside I'm grateful to the person, who wishes to remain anonymous, who sent me the photo of Brixton after I accidentally deleted all the photos I had of that station (oops!). I will need more photos for the future, so if anyone is in the area and wants to take a few snaps for teh quiz they'd be appreciated. Thanks.

No idea why, but I'm thinking the main for A is bank A1 is the view from Greenwich park?

You're on the right track, but our Quizmaster is looking for a little more.
