D is between Leytonstone and Leyton... Location D: Between Leyton and Leytonstone - view from eastbound train between Leyton Midland Road and Leytonstone High Road [Chris M] (click for a larger version) When I get, to Warwick Avenue, I won't find that sight. Try this version: (click for a larger version) Oh no it isn't! (Panto season is soon upon us!) Try this: (click for a larger version) ...and I guess G must be Neasden Location G: Neasden - southbound Met and Jublee trains [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Which leaves...... LOTS!

C is Colindale (the name is actually visible on the picture, in big friendly letters, albeit very faint).

There is nothing to do with royalty in the names of the stations either side of this location. Well, unless the royalty you had in mind was afloat!

Think carefully before answering, you're saying that this is a photograph of Pontoon Dock station?

Difficult to find two consecutive stations with non-regal names in that area, but this is the DLR viaduct spanning Shurgard's car park between City Airport and Pontoon Dock, looking west towards the latter, with the roundabout at the junction of North Woolwich Road and the Connaught* Bridge approach in the distance
*Presumably named after Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught; the third son of Queen Victoria. As I said, those royals are endemic round there!
