Dunno about the location of 6: But the sign says it's a 'local pharmacy'. Is it exclusively for local people? If so is there one of these nearby:

Maybe clutching at straws here, but all your pictures were taken on or near current or historic routes to London Waterloo. No. 4 is the odd one out as it is beyond the terminus at London Waterloo on the line from Waterloo East to Charing Cross.

your pretty much there ! your correct on photo 4!! thats why its the odd one out, and that is because all the other photos are taken where you can see one of the main lines from london to plymouth, ... be it currently in use or a former main line
