Great fun. Up to 45 so far but despite having a tube map in front of me it's getting harder!
Agreed - I got to 50 and submitted my answers. I really wanted to carry on and try for the rest but I reached the point where my brain just wouldn't function anymore. I must say that it's really well put together - some are cryptic and quite clever. It kept me amused for quite awhile yesterday!

That red fish is doing my head in. My missus says it's easy!

I thought 'woman with beer' was particularly good!
I didn't manage to get any of those - except the gunman on the roof. It's quite obvious once you work it out, the clue being to look at what's coming out of the gun

I'm not all that at cryptic stuff so I'll be happy to get 25. Looks pretty damn good though; will keep me occupied until I decide to "hit the hay" for the night

I'm stuck on 66!
-Fish on floor
-Dead pig(?)
-Dog and cake
-Man watering tree
-Lady with 'bush' hair
-Flag out of window
-Mouse/rat
-Man with tv(?) wrapped in rope
But that only adds up to 74, so one of those could be two...
There are a lot of very clever ones in there...

If anyone's struggling, remember that DLR stations are included.

Arsenal?
Interestingly enough, we played a similar game on holiday in France. For example, an angry Royal for 'kings Cross' etc.

Not even close - it's a very clever - but obvious, once you get it - one...

Come on, even I got that one
Genuinely not a clue, even with a tube map in front of me!

OK, I've hit 50 at an average of about one a minute, but now it's getting really hard. The 50th one for me was the nuns in front of the house to the far right.
I shall have to post my list of needed clues when I'm a bit nearer to the full 75.

Finished!
Took about three hours in the end, but once I got to about 60 it got really difficult. Some - such as beer girl - are excellent. Others - the bride and groom - are cheeky. And some - silver cross, I'm looking at you - are arguably unfair. But ultimately I successfully got them all, so that's what counts.
Phew...!

The red fish is easier than you might think. Note the discussion on the matter on the previous page.
Additionally, the system tells you how many you have right. There is no case of "have I got 70 or 71" - check your score at the bottom.

Is it really rhyming slang? Shock horror - I know more than I thought. (Still not much though.)

I am counting them manualy as I don't have IE 8 on this PC so cant use the online score calculator.
Still cant get the fish though...
First thoughts were red herring but cant check on this PC (IE8), got the man watering the bush one now though.

The scoring seems to work fine in Chrome if you can get that on your PC.

Not so much rhyming slang, more just wordplay! But another good one...
Trying to figure out the flag and the fish at the moment...

I'm surprised the flag is causing so much trouble, there's no wordplay involved...

So come on guys, has anyone else successfully reached 75? More to the point, can anyone beat my time of ~2h55?

73...
Just the dead pig and the straw bale to go, as has been the case for about an hour now
For the latter one - think about it! It's quite obvious once you do...
