Question: Identify these locations and the link between them. For bonus points, arrange them in descending order Location A: (click for a larger version) Location B: (click for a larger version) Location C: (click for a larger version) Location D: (click for a larger version) [Not sure why thumbnails not working, big versions do - will investigate in the morning unless Chris M beats me to it.]

Location D looks like Barons Court. At this stage I wouldn't want to guess the connection.

I think C is Queensway. Therefore the link seems to be a noble order of precedence? so far Queen, Earl, Baron if everyone is correct!

So the final one could be King's Cross, Kingsbury or perhaps one of the Commons? (I'm trying to remember if there is a current LT station with the word Lord in it.)

Righty ho, you've got three out of the four so far: Answer: Location A: Earl's Court - west end of westbound platforms [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location C: Queensway - passage from lifts to Central Line [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location D: Barons Court - Access to platforms [ caravelle] (click for a larger version) Location B is still outstanding, so have another peek: (click for a larger version) You're nearly there with the link, but we want to know the correct order please.

Bit of a plump based almost exclusively on the link (best I could come up with). Regent's Park?

We are not looking for a Regent, something far more commonplace.
