FCC? King's Cross, St. Pancras, Blackfriars, Moorgate & London Bridge?

EDIT: Or is it SouthEastern, with Charing Cross, Cannon Street, Victoria, Blackfriars, and, at the moment, Kentish Town (they do turn round there!) and St. Pancras (where they'll turn round soon!).

2.Which of the four major LONDON airports have the most toc's serving it, and how many?

Gatwick? FCC, Southern, Gatwick Express (Southern), and FGW?

3.Which is the only ISLAND to be connected to England by rail?

The Isle of Sheppey?

That's a damn fine question, got the grey matter ticking over on it! I did immediately think of Euston, I suspect it may be wrong.

5. Termini without changing ends? None by definition as to change ends you would need to work in a loop, as in Kennington, of which, as far as I am aware, there are no such stations on BR.
Bedford-Bletchley and the Dudding Hill branch aren't electrified, so the only termini north of the Thames Thameslink services could terminate at are St Pancras and Moorgate if there is still public access. A diesel train could terminate at Euston (via Bletchley), Victoria via Dudding Hill. I am sure you could get to any of the BR termini via convoluted routes without reversal.
Non terminal stations within London they could terminate at are Kentish Town, City Thameslink, and if it is in London Radlett. West Hampsted has a crossover but I doubt it is signalled.

Ah yes, didn't think of branching off on the Southern. D'oh!
Portsmouth Harbough has 4 platforms, plus one disused.
