So far only location and inset A have been identified correctly. No clues for the rest (except for D) until attempted. Answer: Location A: Between Crossharbour and South Quay - view from junction of East Ferry Road and Limeharbour [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Inset A: Cambridge Mathematical Bridge 2015 [ howda62 ] (click for a larger version) Clue: Location D: (click for a larger version)

Location D has been identified, just under another name. I thought it had to be - there are, after all, only three bridges across the Thames that are on-topic. (Crossrail will add a fourth)

Bonus question: What links the insets/backgrounds?
