I am renowned for my quizzes, so here goes.... All station featured are either on the London Underground or the NLL.

1. A "rocket" snooker player comes from here - Chigwell
2. You will find a branch of Lloyds TSB along this street - Blackhorse Road
3. Rabbit burrows have invaded this throughfare! - Warren Street
4. We have a problem at this four sided station - Euston Square
5. One of the Simpsons weighs a lot - Homerton
6. There is a taxi in the middle of this station - Hackney Central
7. This station features in the Weakest Link - Bank
8. To trap a rabbit by a stream - Snaresbrook
9. Not below the patella - Upney
0. French gloves on a mound - Gants Hill

Happy guessing

Warren Street and Homerton are correct.

The answer to question 2 is indeed Blackhorse Road (as the emblem of the Lloyds TSB bank is a black horse).

What was the significance of the rabbit in the clue for Snaresbrook?

Or did you just need "something" to trap in the snare?
