How does 13 grab you? - http://goo.gl/maps/qFCeZ - Oxford Street, just West of Oxford Circus, around the time of the Olympics.

Find me a railway level crossing...with old school wooden gates. By which I mean a "proper" crossing worked by a crossing keeper (or gate box or other signaller), not a "User Worked Crossing".

Well, that's a few hours of my life I won't get back. In the end found one within 3 miles of my house! Unbelievable.

Let's get this one going again by lowering the tone a little:

A shop, whose name could be considered a double entendre.

Assuming the answers are valid, who sets the next criteria? Open floor, I say.

If its open floor, please find me a Street View image with the below sign in sight. Only location stipulation is it must be situated within the United Kingdom.

Wow great work Sam, didn't think anyone would get this one.

Apparently this road sign is one of the rarest in Britain and the only one I could find was on this random wall in Lincoln (http://goo.gl/jj8fD).

Can I suggest one?

Find me a UK railway level crossing with no lights or barriers.

Bridges and Tunnels don't count!

Well, I couldn't do better than go for the Angel of the South! http://goo.gl/maps/L6kSH. I overlook this from my house.

Just a minute whilst I think of the next challenge...

...ready. Find me a cement mixer.

Got to be kidding me, just as I spend an hour searching and feel all triumphant when I get one at Strawberry Hill (http://goo.gl/maps/uNcFK), I find Iain's beaten me too it...
