Same here.

Although I think the answer to 8 should be Regents Prak they announce change there for buses to  ZSL on the Bakerloo.

Camden Town is the closest tube station geographically.

Fancy a bit of shopping in Harrods? Which of these would be a good station to jump off at?

My mind modified the question to
"Partner fancies Fancy a bit of shopping in Harrods? Which of these would be a good station to jump off at?"

Offerings: South Kensington, Green Park, Osterley ... with the correct answer being "Osterley"

I seem to recall that Harrods warehouse was indeed in Osterley. I'm sure they've moved out now. Didn't Sky tv move in?

Sky started out opposite Harrods warehouse but they have expanded all over that area now having bought the site a few years ago.

BSB by contrast started off opposite Harrods itself in Knightsbridge.

Seems like this quiz wasn't difficult enough to test our Forum and rail users! I have an idea brewing for something much more challenging, but it'll have to wait until the new year now.

I got 11 out of 14, too!

A tube question of my own:

What is unique about St Johns Wood amongst all the names of tube stations?

(And it is daft)
