Eleven. And I'm a Londoner!!
9/20
Although I used to enjoy driving in / around the city, the best part was coming up Highgate heading for the M1 out.

TWR, who was it said, 'A man who is tired of London is tired of life.'?
The place has changed a lot since I was delivering there Sandy, the drivers knew where they were going & that was it, the only time I used the weight of the HGV but it was excepted by all, as that was the only way you could get out of junctions & the likes, sorry for interrupting your post.
9/20, but that was mostly guesses!
7 and they were all guesses.

the best posts take on a life and direction of their own. Not that I'm saying there's anything exceptional about this one.

10/20
So that is 10 educated guesses and 10 ordinary guesses.

Hans.
7. all guesses.
I guessed 9 out of 20, and I've only been through London on Trains!
14! Blimey and I can't really stand the place even though I've worked here for 30 years.
I only got five, and I used to live and work in London.
9 for me. (I knew most of them but a bit of guesswork was required for a couple).

I'm unsurprised that Londoners don't know London. I worked with a group of Londoners right alongside the London Monument. Several of them asked me what it was and none of them had even heard of the Great Fire of London!
16, not bad. Did they paint St Paul's blue just for that photo?
Scored 6, have never visited London.
