The lit up building in A looks like the Royal Masonic Hospital so that would make A Covent Garden

I think so too - the building in the background looks like the TSB bank in google maps.

This is a really wild guess based on some fairly sane reasoning!
Location C: Green Park (having its escalator replaced) Location D: Covent Garden (I can't find a photo online of the foyer ceiling, but it ISNT Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square)
Link: Sequential central London Piccadilly Line stations between Hyde Park Corner and Holborn [ Hyde Park Corner(B), Green Park (C), Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Garden (D), Holborn(A) ]
Which of two locations could be the fifth in the set? Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square

Location C: Green Park (having its escalator replaced) Location D: Covent Garden (I can't find a photo online of the foyer ceiling, but it ISNT Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square) C isn't Green Park, but it is somewhere with an escalator undergoing repair, refurbishment or replacement (I don't know which). You are correct that D isn't Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square, but it's also not Covent Garden. Link: Sequential central London Piccadilly Line stations between Hyde Park Corner and Holborn [ Hyde Park Corner(B), Green Park (C), Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Covent Garden (D), Holborn(A) ]
Which of two locations could be the fifth in the set? Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square The link is not to do with the Piccadilly and neither of the stations that could be fifth in the set are served by that line.

Holborn is next to disused British Museum and Hyde PC next to disused Down Street. Fairly wild guess, but C Knightsbridge, next to Brompton Road; and D Angel, next to City Road?

D is Angel, but disused stations are not relevant to the link or 5th in the set. Location D: Angel - ticket hall ceiling [Chris M] (click for a larger version)

C reminds me of Westminster (diamond cut metal flooring at the bottom)

Neither of the possible 5th stations are in Zone 1, and it's not related to the station entrance.
