 		We think we have it, but got locked out because we didn't get the precise wording.

We reckon:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

A. High Barnet (big hair)
B. Canary Wharf (Klingon Worf in a Tweety-Pie suit)
C. Elephant & Castle (Err...)
D. King's Cross (Crown + lobster = king's crustacean = King's Cross Station)


The variations that got us locked out were:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Attempt one:
Elephant & Castle
King's Cross

Attempt two:
Elephant and Castle
King's Cross

Attempt three:
Elephant and Castle
Kings Cross

Now, with hindsight, the mistake we think we made is not putting the whole of King's Cross St Pancras.


Good luck to whoever gets first solve!

 		I also got locked out. I agree with A, B and C and think you're probably right as to why D wasn't accepted.

I had also tried...


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Barons Court and Earl's Court - thinking that if King's Cross didn't work then maybe it was that the lobster had been caught!!!

 		I'm not 100% sure about A; yes it's big hair which fits very nicely but there's also the dress and fake bits which seem to have been ignored.

Haven't come up with anything better though.

Tried

Victoria
Canary Wharf
Elephant and castle
Kings Cross

but no luck locked out till this afternoon now Sad

I'm thinking to try :-
Victoria
Canary Wharf
Elephant & Castle (as it is usually written this way on maps that I see)
Kings Cross St Pancras

Although I think its High barnet rather than victoria.

Other options could include queensway and many others.

 		I'm a Londoner and I'm pretty sure there isn't a station called King George V. Look at Random's post earlier to see why we think it is what it is.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
King's Crustacean = king's cross station


The tube station you were asking after is on the Northern Line (the black line). When looking on a tube map follow the Northern line up from Mordern station, through various stations including stockwell, oval and kennington. Where the line splilts into two take the right hand fork and it is the next station. The bakerloo line (brown/orange) also goes to it.

This link will take you to the underground map: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tube/maps/

It's the terminus on a branch of the DLR that goes out past London City Airport. I hadn't heard of it either, but Beloved Other Half is a walking encyclopaedia about the Tube network...

 		So it is - I never think of the DLR as part of the tube network although I know it is... Well you learn something new everyday!

I've been through all the stations now, one by one alphabetically and still no other ideas spring to mind.
