Probably isn't, but Whitechapel? Correct, it isn't. The image is unmodified so the only clue I can offer right now is that you can get a direct train from there to here.

Shouldn't that be 'Day 001'? Different quiz team members have different styles, I generally use words rather than numbers but also use "day the first".

Shouldn't that be 'Day 001'? Not really. The banner states 'January quiz' as there are only 31 days(two digits) my logic says the quiz days go from 01 to 31 If the quiz was an 'annual' one, Your logic would suffice, day 001(of 365) Anyway, I STILL get most of them wrong!

The reason the threads are named by month is because when I first started I only intended to run it for a month. February is the 14th anniversary of that month...

Hmm, next guess is the steel resemblance, so Custom House or Greenwiches

Farringdon? I'd suggest because it formed the "start" of the Underground and Jan 1st is of course the start of the new year.

Answer: Farringdon - roof from turnmill street [Chris M] This image is not modified.
Still looking for the bonus answer.

Yes, but you need to be more specific than that
