In reply to the location that it mentions i would say wait to the ad is actually realsed in the underground because according to the subway website it hasn't been realesed so for all we know it could be a fake or just a red herring there might be more deatails in the real one. I think the best solution here is the waiting game.

Could this actually be Hampton Court?

He is far from statue of love possible Rich Mon (Richmond is the Tube for Hampton Court)

A "Hide" Garden could well be the maze.

What is this seating place could well refer to the "privy" garden.

Even if this is right what could be the significance?

Wow I take a night out and miss all the fun.

Just a thought Bri mentioned the significance of Q3 and I wondered if it isnt the colours of the circle, square, star and triangle being Red = central line, yellow = circle, purple = piccadilly, and green = district. There are several stations that intersect these lines. Equally (mosly from memory as I moved out of London 5 years ago) the some of the station names so far mentioned would possibly fit into this criteria.

Another thought on the time aspect of the questions, could these not be the travel times between various stations such as those in the puzzles? I know these used to be posted on the walls of stations but this site might be of use:

I got to thinking on the time thing. Could the answer to the questions be a reference to your starting point and the solution time, say 12 mins, be the resulting journey time to another station at which you find either another clue or part of a larger puzzle?

Puzzle 1 - 1 min/10 min - having only ever used the Metro on 2 occasions in my life I can only assume that this could refer to the next station on the line as it may be possible to take a longer and less dirrect route. Alternatively is there another Station on the London Underground that would be an equivelant in name? Failing that no idea.

Puzzle 2 - I can only think that is may have something to do with either Farringdon or Paddington as they are the oldest stations on the line. The journey time is 14 - 16 mins though

Puzzle 3 - Still working on this and my card is at home - I am at work and its very hard to concentrate! Wondering if its the the outer shapes as interchanges so Mile End Green to Red - Liverpool Street Red to Yellow - but this doesnt fit with my other train (hehe) of thought as the journey time would have to be 4 minutes, unless it was 4 minutes between each interchange!?

Puzzle 4 - if St Johns Wood is the answer Bond Street is a 6 minute journey so could be a candidate.

Well I think I will work more on this tonight and with a glass of wine or two
