This game is sort of similar to the photos of cities game, but this time we'll list names of main streets, squares, parks, monuments in cities and the rest of us with try to work out which city they refer to — without cheating, of course!

I'll start:

Princess Street
George Street
Queen Street
Charlotte Square
St Andrew's Square
Leith Walk
Calton Hill
The Royal Mile
Holyrood Park
Waverley Steps
Lothian Road

I suppose St Andrew's Square as well as Holyrood Park were dead give aways.

Uriel: Actually, it's Singapore

Fab: Is this a trick question? Most respectable-sized communes in France would probably have all of these adresses within their jurisdictions.

It is funny — like how almost every town and city in Scotland seems to have a Union Street — Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Perth, St Andrews, Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Paisley, Greenock, Dumfries... practically every place I type in to Google Maps. Actually, on the wall underneath the Union Street sign in St Andrews, someone has recently chalked Soon Independence Street.

This should be an (relatively) easy one:

Vermont Avenue
New Hampshire Avenue
Normandie Avenue
Harvard Boulevard
Oxford Avenue
Nottingham Avenue
Lexington Avenue
Gramercy Place
Talmadge Street
Fountain Avenue
Franklin Avenue
Berendo Street
Vine Street
Yucca Street
Sycamore Street
L. Ron Hubbard Way

Rio: Not Orchard Walk, but Orchard Road. Come to think of it, the only streets which end with a walk in Singapore is probably the regal sounding Queen Elizabeth II Walk which is really just a riverside promenade.

Ok, I'd venture a guess and say it's probably erm....Alice Springs?

Fab: Can I guess it's Paris then? But really, General de Gaulle is ubiquitous. One sees his legacy everywhere in France.

Elaine: Is it Washington DC?
