7. I was quite pleased with that. Not sure about Millbank, though.

7 too. Real Greek a real giveaway.

They do a quiz for guessing house prices - got 7 more of less right in
that too.

You get different locations each time you play it, I think they must be
randomly selected from a map (which is why you sometimes get views with
street or station signs, which are a dead giveaway).

They are far from random though, I've been inches from the New Den
twice, and inches from the Neasden Hindu temple twice as well. But some
of them are impossibly obscure culs-de-sac with no notable buildings, so
they aren't just harvesting co-ordinates from wikipedia either. Maybe
80% are coordinates harvested from wikipedia and the other 20% are
genuinely random points.

That's very good. I got all ten but I totally cheated by googling street names and wandering around for about a mile. I reckon I would've got 7 without cheating.

Mind you, at least I realised it was different every time.

It gave me a photo of Exhibition Road, South Kensington, SW7, for which
the correct answer was "Belgravia". At that point I lost interest in
this quiz.

Some very broad definitions of "near" which caught me out a couple of times.

got 7 three times and 8 once. Must log off!
