How does 13 grab you? - http://goo.gl/maps/qFCeZ - Oxford Street, just West of Oxford Circus, around the time of the Olympics.
Find me a railway level crossing...with old school wooden gates. By which I mean a "proper" crossing worked by a crossing keeper (or gate box or other signaller), not a "User Worked Crossing".

Let's get this one going again by lowering the tone a little:
A shop, whose name could be considered a double entendre.

Well, I couldn't do better than go for the Angel of the South! http://goo.gl/maps/L6kSH. I overlook this from my house.
