Well you have the main, and tom73 was first in by PM: Location: Westferry - Platform 2 There were only 2 attempts at the bonuses and neither were correct but they did earn you alternative, possibly easier, clues for 2 and 7: 2. Tie your hair at Chiswick or Wembley 7. Snag at the hostelry

Hang on, these aren't SWR stations. They're stations on the Thameslink/Great Northern network. 2 is Bowes Park while 4 is Leagrave.

How do you get Leagrave and Essex Road from those clues? (Or Maybe 4 is Gravesend?)
Is No 3 Mill Hill Broadway? (although I'm not sure where synonyms for November come into it)

You now have 5 of the 7, 3 isn't Mill Hill Broadway and 6 isn't Essex Road
1. Hornsey Main: Old English island: ey; goats and rhoio have horns, horses and lions do not.
2. Bowes Park Main: Municipal recreation: Park; Ms. Peep: Little Bo Peep = Bo's Park Clue: Tie your hair (bow) at Chiswick (Park) or Wembley (Park).
4. Leagrave Main: Where one rests in peace: Grave; Between Haringey and Waltham Forest: (River) Lee
5. New Southgate Main: Gareth Southgate; used to know: (k)new
7. Hitchin Main: Mandibular prominence: chin; chart topping: hit Clue: Snag: Hitch; hostellery: Inn
Clue for 3: Whiskey and twelve to the foot, again Clue for 6: I'm positive it's pork

And that's the set:
3. Winchmore Hill Main: world champion Damon: Hill; the Met's northern Park: Moor (More); a synonym for that: "Which" + including November (phonetic alphabet for N) = Winch; Revolutionary: reverse - i.e. Hill More Winch → Winchmore Hill Clue: Whiskey (W) + inch (12 inches in a foot); again: more
6. Shoreham Main: Southerly Saxon path: Saxon Shore Way (long distance footpath along the south coast); East or west is new: East Ham + West Ham → Newham Clue: Positive: sure; pork: Ham
