Bootham Bar, on High Petergate, from within.

Archway for B, and I'm tempted to say South Kensington for D.

My initial guess was that the combo would spell "manor" or are linked by pub names, but I doubt this would fit the description anymore

I've just realised what it is. The initials spell out Mayor since this was the day of the mayoral election. That would mean that the only location that could replace the inset (York) would be the disused York Road station.

Link: These stations' first letters, with the fifth in the set, spell "MAYOR". Today is the election for Mayor of London 5th in the set: York Road
location D is still to find though

Location D doesn't start with O, that's location C which has already been identified as Osterley

It's not on London Overground

Post by elsombernie on May 11, 2021 12:52:50 GMT
SO, D = Zone 2, not on Overground, not Royal Oak, therefore must be Ravenscourt Park (I hope).

Got it. Location D: Ravenscourt Park - wall of passage to park exit [Chris M] (click for a larger version)
