The white building looks slightly familiar. Is it in Barcelona?

The white building is a lot closer to the London Underground than it is to the Barcelona Metro

Having Googled both the answer on the card and that suggested I'm 90% confident that the guess isn't correct.
By my reckoning we're in the right corner of London, but the wrong side of the river.

Somewhere around Gunnersbury? That's more like the answer on the card. I think we need to be a little more precise though. |

It's neither of those buildings. The latter is significantly closer than the former.

How about Chiswick Point (or whatever it is called, in Bollo Lane), taken from Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve?
