Nicely, thanks!barrykas wrote:Will this do? http://goo.gl/maps/VmwL4
A national speed limit sign within Greater London? I'll go one better; here's two! http://goo.gl/maps/om3dJ
Not too far before you leave Greater London from this point, though.
Okay, find me a "Costa" sign, next to an "M&S" sign. (i.e. Costa Coffee and Marks & Spencer).
If this sounds difficult, it's probably easier than you may think. Think outside the box. (Happy to give pointers necessary).

A low bridge that is 10' 0" or UNDER (must be a proper bridge and not those you find at the entrances to car parks).

Easy: http://goo.gl/maps/9o86F - 4'9" (1.3m) if you can't read it.tractakid wrote: Find me a shorter bridge than this
Or if you prefer: http://goo.gl/maps/4dwAI at 5'0 (Better shot at http://goo.gl/maps/ltPYR)
Find me an Underground station building that is no longer used as such, but where the station itself is still open.

That looks like the bridge that takes one into Laira depot in Plymouth.

Is this the kind of thing you're after? http://goo.gl/maps/5aB2N It's open, even though it's closed, sort of...barrykas wrote:Find me an Underground station building that is no longer used as such, but where the station itself is still open.
Or maybe you mean this kind of place... http://goo.gl/maps/nSStL
Assuming one of these is correct, please find me a river bridge with five arches.

I think he means a station which is still in use for passengers, such as Euston:
