Nice guess, littleadanel, but I was thinking of a centrally placed metro station. Guess again.

Actually there is a tube station called Queen's Park... Is the answer Regent's Park?
1.9 Charing Cross - that's a great clue

Correct indeed. You may proceed. And, yeah, I was rather witty there, wasn't I?
I checked thru the entire tube chart and couldn't find Q P. Where is it? Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 02-07-2006 at 06:37 AM. |

You're correct indeed, except for 2.1 which is a speciaL spire indeed (an old prison in fact). . You may proceed.

2.1 Tower of London
The screw may twist and the rack may turn And men may bleed and men may burn O'er London Town and its golden hoard I keep my silent watch and ward.

2.2 - The Royal Family and severly mispronouned past sense of having taken in food.
Windsor Castle and Eton 2.3 - Swedish for "pissed" + Sugar *** Robinson. Surrey (I assume from the next question) 2.4 - Manufacturer's gathering + shallow wet crossing place. Guildford 2.5 - Surname of Superman's alias. Kent (hooray!) 2.6 - Running around + covering with earth. + it has a famous place of worship. Canterbury 2.7 - to deminish in value + door Margate 2.8 - Wide steps Can it be Broadstairs? My very own home town? 2.9 - Earthsorceress Sandwich 3.0 - Famous for white hard coast. Dover How embarrassing if I get any of the Kent ones wrong...

Could this be as simple as London Museum?

You're correct on 1.7, you may proceed.
Sorry (me and left & right, major problem). Right is the correct direction on 1.1. Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 02-07-2006 at 04:30 PM. |

1.1 East Sussex
1.2 Rye 1.3 Hastings 1.5 Eastbourne By the way, none of these are actually "cities" except Canterbury and London - they're all towns. It doesn't matter, but it's just funny to hear a tiny town like Broadstairs referred to as a city
