Thanks, grahame!

I'll go for an easy one first:

1.  Statue of Sir John Betjeman at St Pancras station.

5. Greenford underground station on the Central line.  The inclined lift, inclined elevator, inclinator, or call it what you will.

Recently I travelled by train in Italy with heavy luggage and I was very glad of the stations that had installed accessibility lifts and ramps - a 20kg bag is no fun to handle up and down stairs.

I'll stay out of this one; all either very obvious for me or frustrating "I ought to recognise that" pics.  I go far enough back in London to have bought things from that slim W H Smith's kiosk sticking out from the wall in number 7, as well as helping commission the first dot matrix display there.

6 is the big-numbered platforms (11+) at Liverpool Street, I think.

A very vague childhood memory makes me think that 2 could be Gants Hill, but that was some time back.
