Note that you can pan around and even move rather than just stare at
the view they give.

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


7 too. Real Greek a real giveaway.

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.
