Elephant and Castle was me.

Annie Mole's blog clearly states that it looks like this: Image

Unfortunately I decided on the basis of Wikipedia's details of the '63' route (which is run by London Central and goes past the station) and the file name including 'EC' that it was indeed Elephant and Castle.

Further digging in the '63' Wikipedia article says that the route only uses 'deckers anyway, and the picture on E&C station wikipedia article kinda gives it away.

The bus did look a bit fishy; no lights and no driver, Did you remove its destination - I seem to remember that London buses display destinations even when powered down, unlike everywhere else where they use LED's.

I'll openly admit that I have very limited knowledge about London, I've been there perhaps a dozen times, my total tube mileage is definitely only in double figures.

The other answer I nearly gave was Uxbridge; I know that has a wide entrance between shops, the 'Centralness' of the bus put me off that one though.

If it were a building in Sheffield I'd probably know fairly quickly...

The only thing I changed on the bus was the route number, the destination blind was all ready blank.

The bus number was the reason why I would've gone for E+C, but the building looked like a southern Northern line extension building.

I'm ignoring the filenames from now on, I'm not falling for that again :D

Some good advice to all...never trust the file names! The quizmasters can easily put a false name or call the file something else to throw you off :)
I thought it was Morden and a quick look on Wikipedia confirmed this by A) the picture and B) the 163 bus.

Oh by the way, Jonny, thanks for spelling my name right! LOL :)

Woo hoo I'm seventh in the league table and seventh on this forum too! Nice work on the photo Dr Who, although how you had time to take it when we were all hot and sticky from our run I'll never know.

The current league table on my site is not up to date. This is because Im having some problems uploading. I shall try and get the current one up ASAP.

Sorry about that.

Hang On there!!!

I did send in an answer for this one, and it was the right one!

Dr Who, would you mind double-checking your inbox? I did send it in pretty rapidly, last wednesday.

Good to see I have taken my rightful place, but will I be the Christmas number 1 or am I down with the Christmas decorations???

Well seeing as the top 3 are only ordered alphabetically, I think it only fair that you probably 'share' the top spot...
