The extractor fans tell me it's Brixton. But I'll try Stockwell.

Well done - inset 3 is the bridge between station and town centre in Dartford, photographed by yours truly last month. (click for a larger version)

I must complain here. I don't see how a random village pub would be easily guessable by hundreds who visit this forum

The insets/backgrounds are just a bit of fun and can be any location that isn't on-topic for the quiz. Some are obviously much easier than others, and which is which isn't always obvious. For example I expect the bridge in Dartford to be much easier than the pub in Stilton, but I was wrong.
There have been more obscure answers (e.g. lakes in Abkhazia) over the years without complaint, but if others want the bonuses more restricted then let me know.

This forum is blessed with members from all over the coutry and indeed the world, the backgrounds and insets to the quiz have a similar range. The main location for each day does have to fit a set criteria which is directly relevant to the topic of the forum.
For each quiz day there is a "question" "clue" and "answer" for each photograph (main or background/inset). The Stilton pub was guessed correctly without the clue version being needed, proof that someone out there knew it.
Feel free to submit your own pictures to Chris M, I'm not sure where you are - but any local landmarks would make excellent backgrounds (though you'll have to remember to bite your tongue and not answer the question!)
