Do post any answers here - maybe also a brief indication as to which pictorial clue/location on the picture so that fellow forum individuals know which clues have been solved....

Hint: Includes DLR stations.....

I'll take this opportunity to get some easy ones out of the way. I probably don't need to provide detailed explanations for most of these, so I'll just say where I found them:

Elephant & Castle (top left)
Angel (top left)
Swiss Cottage (middle left)
Marble Arch (middle middle)
Arsenal (pile of guns in middle left)
Leytonstone ("late on stone", bottom left)
King's Cross St. Pancras ("kings cross", middle right)
Hatton Cross ("hat on cross", middle right)
Queensway (queens on street sign, bottom right)
Royal Oak (crown on oak tree, middle middle)

That's ten. Better leave some for the rest of you

I'll throw another 10 in then

11. Brixton (Ton of Bricks - top centre)
12. Limehouse (top right)
13. Cyprus (Cyprus flag - right hand side)
14. Lambeth North (Lamb in North bath - bottom right)
15. Green Park (Green Parking sign - left hand side)
16. Barbican (Barbie and Ken - left hand side)
17. Redbridge (Red bridge in the background)
18. High Barnet (right hand side hair-do)
19. Seven Sisters (on the foremost bridge)
20. Monument (centre left)

OK, I've got 64 now, with a few I know are probably there, but I can't see what they are for the life of me.

Well, I've got 70, but there are some things which I can't identify, so either there are more than 70 stations, or I have discovered stuff the artist did not intend!

Either way, I've taken a copy of the picture and numbered the ones I've found, so I'll post it up a bit later if you like. Still looking for more ...

i can add blackhorse rd to that list

Blackhorse road makes 21 - 10 more

22. Knightsbridge (Knight on bridge)
23. West Ham
24. East Ham (two hams on either side of road)
25. Shepherds Bush (front left)
26. Balham (left of shepherd Ball-Ham)
27. Tower Hill (at the back, right of the Swiss flag)
28. Lancaster Gate (top right, Lancaster bomber flying over gate)
29. Temple (at back, under red bridge)
30. Bow Road (front middle, bow tie on road)
31. Chalk Farm (front left, chalk drawing of farm on road)

This is what I have so far, some of them are incorrect maybe

Anyone found Leicester Square yet?

I particularly like Blackfriars and Kings Cross ...

Would anyone mind if I post up the picture I've numbered, with the answers I've found? There are a couple of ones I'm not sure of, but I've labelled them anyway. There are also a couple I can't get, and it's annoying me, because they should be easy enough with a list of station names to go through!

I posted an image, so yeah sure, go ahead.

OK.

This is as big as I can get it. Is it big enough? Can you all see the numbers? My answers below the picture. I accidentally labelled two things as number 47, so you'll have to work out which is which - shouldn't be too hard. Most are self-explanatory, but I have explained a few. Some of them are tenuous, and there are some items in the picture which I have not numbered, because I can't work out what they are supposed to be.

That dead pig is annoying me the most. The only thing I can get is Hoxton (hog's done). Not very good is it?

You can click on the picture and use the resize feature to make it bigger if you like.

EDIT: the whole picture is not shown above - you'll need to go to the link above to see the far edges.

Unknown items:

The bale/rick of hay behind the fooballer on the hill on the right,
The man watering the bush on the right of the road,
The dead pig,
The dog with the partially-green head,
The glue on the peeled-back section of road.

Is there anything else I've missed?
