    Q: Where did Dick Whittington "turn again"? (the site is now marked by a statue of his cat).
    Archway?

    Whittington Hospital is there. Also near the A1.

          New Eltham is a lovely village located on outskirts of LOndon with a bakery, butchers and post office. What is the name of the butchers?

                    Yes, the link is marginal NSFW, you might want to mark it as such.

                    The entrance to the Savoy Hotel. EDIT - Savoy Court, it took me ages to remember the name and I have been there for meetings too.

                      And still not quite right

                      Hampstead is the deepest station (191ft). The deepest point is Holly Bush Hill (221ft) - a bit further down the line between stations.

                      In both cases, this is measured from ground level

                      The deepest point below sea level is near Waterloo.
