 		Von's hint is pretty good in this case. Hopefully this will nudge you in the right direction and not spoil things too much:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A significant event happened in the past at each of the five points you find. What, or rather who (the instigator), is the common link with respect to these five locations/events and the two locations we're given?

 		thanks for the hints everyone.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've just got the answer without actually plotting the points but realise where they come from. If you just google search for the two streets already known, the answer stares you in the face. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner

 		The answer popped into my head a day before I tried it because I had no logical reason to use it. Just one of those things. Ah well, at least I got into top ten for the first time, yay me. Very Happy

Late 19th century perhaps?

what happened in those 5 places without postcodes

 		I got it from the hints too. I just googled for the area and took a lucky guess from the google answer.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It's the 5th or 6th one down, just in case people can't see it.

 		Ok, I managed to get this one on my first try. Not knowing alot about the London area, these are some of the points I came up with. I am not entirely sure how I got from these 3 points to the answer - it just made sense, but the answer never came up in any google search I did for these points.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Top Point: Chaloner Place
Top Left Point: Trio Place
Bottom left point: Borough Road/Newington Causeway intersection
didn't go any further..

I said, I wonder if its... and tried it.


Can someone tell me if I got the right points or even the right neighborhood? Appreciate it.

 		I've solved this, but my attempts to actually plot the points on the map just don't seem to have been right, I am sure that they end up south of the river, not north.

Can anyone give me any tips on how I should have worked out the plotting of these points?

 		This is a hint or a useful resource for anyone curious and kind of why we got the answer, we didn't draw the map just guessed it from the london/history connection


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is a popular graphic novel that has a map at the back of the places on this card that might help


Don't want to give the actual name as it may be to obvious a clue but am happy to tell people it if they want to know it. Laughing

 		Laughing Ironically, I got this one faster than I got any other card!!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Once I saw the location, I remember a certain Graphic novel by Alan Moore about some horrific events in Whitechapel and some things that Hawksmoor built and the theory that there is some kind of alignment between the events and the things built and got it immediately!!


I haven't a clue what the numbers mean!!

That really is an excellent card!!!

Big up and thanks to Rainbowtrout for kindly sending me the card!!! Laughing Cool Cool

 		So....
Am I to surmise from the above hints that this has something to do with
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Jack The Ripper

? Or am I on completely the wrong track?

Thanks
E

Just tried the answer. Wicked sweet
