Map the clues
If several entries share a city, pin them together geographically to test the hypothesis.
- 2
Check for specificity
Ask whether each clue points to the same city rather than a whole country or region.
- 3

A connector can include transit systems and monuments as long as they share the same location.
FAQ
Why isn’t the answer simply “UK culture”?
Because each clue is uniquely tied to London, not the wider United Kingdom.
Do transportation clues really belong with landmarks?
Yes—the connector is the city, so transit and monuments both qualify.
