Is there is a map website or tool that shows you the equator line from your chosen location ? (if that makes sense)
Eg to see what locations Downing St, Buck Palace , White House, landmarks etc are aligned with globally

Ah - it's not the equator line you are after, it's the locations' lines of latitude. (The equator only goes right round the middle.)
This site should do it, you have to look up each location to find its degrees of latitude.
All Great Circles go right around the middle :-)
I'm glad someone could make head or tail of the question.
If by 'equator' you just mean any line that acts as the circumference of the world (strictly the circumference where a plane goes through the centre of the sphere ) then there is an infinite number of such 'equators'. For example there is the Equator as we know it and there is also a circumference passing through the North and South Poles. (However as the earth isn't quite spherical the actual Equator is around 40 miles more than the circumference going through the poles.)

But maybe what you are wanting to know is what Boxtops has said which is about lines of latitude and longitude rather than equator lines
I can do it on Google Earth. Locate the place you want and note the latitude and longitude. Then locate another place, even the other side of the world and again note the latitude and longitude (they're at the bottom of the map). With the two locations you can see exactly where they are in relation to each other. Hope this is useful to you.
