24 hours on and I allow myself to google! So armed with a map of the NET:
1. Highbury Vale.
5. Noel Street.
7. Royal Centre.
I'll leave the rest for someone else to have a go.

The background is not Hainault. 24 hours on and I allow myself to google! So armed with a map of the NET: 1. Highbury Vale. 5. Noel Street. 7. Royal Centre. I'll leave the rest for someone else to have a go. Three of three. |

That's the one.
Bonus answers and explanations:
1. Highbury Vale - High = up, Vale = down, Bury = the town in Greater Manchester; (clue explanation: Arsenal's old ground, a vale is a depression)
2. Middle Street - Madness had a hit with "Our House" which was "in the middle of our street". (clue explanation: Median = middle, road = street)
3. Wilford Village - I won't bridge the city, but ford the village (clue explanation: Bill = Will, Ford Escot, home = village)
4. Rivergreen - Bowling green on the River Trent (clue explanation: Lincoln and forest are both shades of green, the Thames is obviously a river)
5. Noel Street - Christmas = Noël, Way = street (clue explanation: Road = Street, Noel Gallagher)
6. Bulwell - Stock is a term for farm animals, including bulls. Healthy = well (clue explanation: Medicate - make well; the nonsense - bull s...)
7. Royal Centre - the centre of a Royal household is their court (clue explanation: The present royal court is the court of St. James's; the heart of something is at it's heart)
