I found this quiz easier than the Australia one, which means I've been living in the UK for far too long. I'm really enjoying these A-Z quizzes, though.

Presumably the tube station labelled on the map as "Angel" is located in the borough of Islington. I got that one right thanks to a stab in the dark based on Monopoly...

I scored 19 and was thinking the same thing, until I realized I only received one point, so I guess it's not so good. I was sort of close on some, though - Isling instead of Islington, Galway instead of Gatwick, and Strand and Shand instead of Shard.

If Kensington is the Royal Palace, what is Buckingham Palace. I got Kensington, only because of the K. Isn't Buckingham Palce where the Queen lives?

There are many royal residences. Kensington Palace is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Kate and William).

You are correct Buckingham Palace is the main Palace where the queen lives.

See here on Wikipedia for a list of each royals' (many) residences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_royal_residences

A bit late, but the Queen’s (or rather, the King’s) official residence is Buckingham Palace, but it’s widely known that the late Queen referred to it as ‘the office.’ She mainly resided in Windsor Castle, whilst conducting official business and engagements (including weekly audiences with the PM) at ‘Buck House.’

As a driver it is where you have to wait for longer than usual for idiots to walk across the road in single file. There's usually 4 of them at a time. Frustrating.

I guess they choose it so americans had a bigger chance of guessing it? otherwise they might have thought, crosswalk does not start with a z and neither does trafficlight. or perhaps even think of things like deer crossing, if the question was merely "type of crossing"

Handel’s opera ‘Xerxes’ was first performed in London in 1738. It only ran for 5 performances and was an unmitigated disaster. Xerxes wasn’t heard for another 200 years, but has since become Handel’s most popular opera, and they’ve kept his house at 25 Brook Street, Mayfair, open as a museum commemorating him. Two x’s there for the price of one!

Miss k, l, o, s, v And only Shard I could ve gotten I think. (other sound vaguely familiar, but so vaguely, I wouldnt have come up with it myself). Still, pleased enough with the 20/25 I got. (though I suspect the results are a bit skewed, I only beat 40% with that, so I think a lot of people avoided this quiz and it is mainly British people that took the quiz.)

btw (but hard to implement maybe) but i think it would be awesome if you could see in a quiz the percentages of nationalities that took a quiz. (Even better if it is per answer, but that would clutter everything up)

I wouldn’t call it pedantry. Those of us who are natives of Southend-on-Sea usually take umbrage at our airport being called ‘London Southend,’ given that they’re totally separate cities, about 45 miles away from each other!

I was going to reply with a snarky comment about other mayors who were also "shunned", name dropping some forgotten nobody from the 12th century or something, but encountered a more interesting fact to share here.

The office of "Mayor of London" (unrelated to the Lord Mayor of London, who is actually only Mayor of the City of London), was only established in 2000 AD, and to date has only been held by three people: Livingstone, Johnson, and Khan. How intriguing!
