Have u got number 20 number of letters are right.

[Clell]

Galasalmon .....the only answer I can come up with for N.20 is Bannockburn which has 11 letters and not 10.....maybe setter's error!

[galasalmon]

I have asked someone who lives in same village as setter and they said it was 10 letters but I can only get same as you . Thanks.

1.5 is New York

[fiction-factory]

Not sure where 'Vital' fits in though- I just saw E in NW + York

[fiction-factory]

Ah- I see the answer was Tel Aviv. I didn't realise the 5 was part of the clue
New York almost worked
