It's not Victoria.
This is my photograph, taken on the 14th of September 2007, that I have obviously labelled as a station that is not Embankment, Victoria or Monument - although it is a station on the south side of the circle.
On that same day I took at least two other photos that have appeared previously in the quiz, one of Embankment that appeared on the 7th of November 2007, and one of the station I intended to run today (17/06/2009) but was actually run a day early, which appeared in December 2007. Neither of these photos showed the ends of a platform though, and I don't have any other photos of this part of either station to compare it to.
As I do not appear to have taken any photos on that Friday in 2007 of the stations between Embankment and the station I labelled this picture as, it seems very likely I got it wrong and this is the east end of the westbound platform at Embankment. Sorry folks.
The question now becomes though, what station did I incorrectly label this as?
There are some clues in what I've just written, and also that I chose the station specifically for today (17th June 2009) - hence the original bonus question (which still needs answering, although obviously not with reference to Embankment).

spot on. When I had the idea for this link back in about March I couldn't find the date of this year's speech so I emailed the Treasury via the general enquiries link on the website expecting a quick response to such a simple question as the date of a speech that must be arranged far in advance. Three and a half weeks later I eventually got the reply - with a misspelled appolgy for the length of time it took!
