London Picture Game

    How about it?

    Similar to the Dublin Picture Game.

    Same guidelines apply -

    A poster posts a picture of London landmark (or part of one), people guess what or where it is until someone answers correctly. The winner either posts the next picture or lets someone else put one up.

    You have to take the picture yourself (basically, don't take from websites). If it's a neighbourhood picture, take a picture that people can reasonably guess at. Not some back alley or some generic house. And make sure the picture takes in quite a bit (i.e. not a close-up of a bench or something).

    For the London game I'd suggest that the pics are all taken within Zones 1 & 2.

    What building is this?

    Not sure I'm allowed to post without being the one guessing, but since no one has posted since the 2nd I'll go ahead:

    bit more of an insider location perhaps, but sure, have a guess :-)
