Qwizard Qwest 2

Ok puzzle fans the second Qwizard Qwest is here, so it's time to dust off the old grey cells, and prepare to alter some URLs. This one has a tube theme, so you might find a tube map useful. Mind the gap! [subbed and created by Greg McKean & Lola Lush]

Aside: Graeme's mini-quiz (as I'm outstandingly bored today): Despite working in London I rarely catch the tube, I can walk to my office from the railway station, but all this week I'm working elsewhere in London and I'm taking the Jubilee Line (pdf). I get off at a station, which will remain un-named, cross one of the bridges over the Thames, and arrive almost immediately at the office where I am working. From the office window I, directly, overlook a national (UK) monument. What can I see from my window? Hint: there's a clue in the question. Answers, with photographic proof, later in the week (yes - I'm taking photos out of my office window - that's how bored I am).

IS IT A BRIDGE? oops. is it a bridge? if you can't see it from your window then it's not a bridge
Comment 17, Wednesday, 05 Apr 2006 03:41:00
 
No it's not a bridge. I cross a bridge, to get to the office. If you find the right bridge it'll give a strong lead on what i can see from the window.

Almost every other bridge has been mentioned, except the correct one.

i'm guessing no-one else is doing the actual qwest or not posting here anyway, I'm up to level 12 now... and stuck again!

Comment By Anna
The station is London Bridge, as is the bridge itself. Since you cross the bridge you would be on the North side. So the monument should be the Great Fire of London Monument.

I wanted to guess St Paul's Cathedral at first, but that's much closer to Millennium Bridge instead.

Comment By James
I got the bridge right...Kudos to me!
As for landmarks, you can't move for falling over landmarks in that part of London.
Any prizes for guessing the bridge? I am expecting a large cash amount at least!

Comment By Bebop
well, you only got the bridge through the process of elimination anyway. :P this hardly calls for a cash price.

Comment By James
nonsense, I used incredible powers of deduction
Comment 35, Thursday, 06 Apr 2006 17:16:00
 
James: The honour is your prize.

Anna: Your process of deduction is excellent. I can indeed see "The Monument" (built in memorial of those who died in the Great Fire of London) from my window. And when I say see, I mean it, I'm in just about the closest building directly overlooking the thing.
