After I go home and have dinner, I'll double check my guess with some googling...

Looks like you've got eleven of us stumped with #4, Hans! I was late to the thread so I missed answering any of the first three. I thought I knew this one but when I went to check out my theory, I can't verify what I was gonna say, so I think I'll be quiet.

C'mon, someone get the choccie bars...

[HansV]

#4 is less obvious than the previous three. I'll wait a bit longer, but if nobody gets it, I'll post another picture of the same landmark.

[StuartR]

I see that nobody has correctly named #3 yet.

Spoiler

St Stephen's tower, Westminster, London

But I can't identify the roof with the triangular slates.

[HansV]

Stuart, you're correct about the official name of #3, although almost everyone knows it by the more popular but technically incorrect name mentioned earlier. You can have a too.

I shall remember the "technical" name now for sure looking around for #4 because it strikes a "tread" but can't quite pull it up yet.

I give up on that one without another photo. I thot it was a tire or wheel at first.

[HansV]

Perhaps #4 is too difficult. Does this make it easier?

Let's see if someone else gets it before I try another one.
