10. Sorry no, not London Bridge.

Clue. Despite it being late afternoon I had the train to myself from here until it crossed the river. I alighted next to another station pictured and already guessed.

10. Those bricks look like a lot of walls in London, often used in buildings around the Paddington area?  Cue Ollie?  Tongue

The station in question isn't near Paddington, it's in South London I believe Smiley

Ah.  Like some London taxi drivers (allegedly), I don't go South of the River ...  Roll Eyes Grin

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Hmm. Sounds a bit like a 'Parliamentary service' to me. Lips sealed

Hmm. You told us in another topic that you had been to Folkestone Harbour: is 15 Folkestone Central station, by any chance?  Wink
