1. A yashmak for a pixie perhaps. 2. Elementary 212 - eh! 3.Could be a great big stop on East London. I have possible answers for these but am far from certain. Many thanks.

1: Perivale

2 Baker Street

[Maxymax464]

Pleased to see Perivale confirmed. As for Baker St I thought of that of course but why 212?

[scorpiojo]

My mistake, that would be 221 (Sherlock Holmes)

[bibblebub]

3: Mile End ??

[Maxymax464]

Yes it is definitely 212. The amazing thing is that someone else is doing a quiz on London Underground but different from mine!

[Maxymax464]

I thought about Wapping but not sure as it is on the London Overground!

[bibblebub]

2: maybe just a typo since Sherlock lived at 221a [eh]

[Maxymax464]

I thought it was 221b actually

darn, i let myself get confused because of this http://www.360cities.net/image/sherlock

[bibblebub]

^i've just noticed that site has it as 212a so maybe the quiz setter used that as the source

[Maxymax464]

Hi bibblebub - yes I have just noticed that too on that link so I reckon you are right. Many thanks. Just the last one to go now then.

[scorpiojo]

Have any of the other answers been overground stations?

[Maxymax464]

No I don't think so but the London Overground stations are printed on the tube map. I was not very happy with Wapping anyway because it doesn't totally parse the clue.

[scorpiojo]

It's on the East London line

What was wrong with Bibble's answer of Mile End, seems to fit the bill :-)

[Maxymax464]

Yes I know but the East London line is part of the London Overground.As for Mile End well I have got that for another answer which is 100% right not that that necessarily precludes it. Also not quite sure where "mile"comes into the clue.

What about Wapping (Whopping)
