I think I know all 4 locations, the link and the odd one out. The problem is that 2 of the pictures are mine. As such, to avoid spoiling it for everyone else, all I will say (for now) is that A is Canonbury.

Answer: Location A: Canonbury - platform 1 from footbridge [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location B: Cannon Street - unidentified object between platforms [ xplaistow ] (click for a larger version) Location C: Blackfriars - platform ceiling [Chris M] (click for a larger version) Location D: Canons Park - eastbound platform [ xplaistow ] (click for a larger version) All we need now is the link and the odd one out.

Now that my pictures have been guessed I'll finish off the question. Blackfriars is the odd one out because all the others begin with Canon/Cannon.

Cannon street is the odd one out, the rest including titles used by religious orders.

Canonbury could be the odd one out as the other three stations have all been served by Metropolitan Railway services.

Location B: Cannon Street - "unidentified object between platforms" - Assuming the comment is about the grey object between the tracks, it's a transmitter for the track to train OPO CCTV. Part of getting those live images of the platform/train interface into the cab for safe dispatch.

Having followed the link, I was amused to see that it was almost exactly one year ago.

I do note all the suggestions, and other wrong guesses which would make good links, with a note not to use them for a few months. If I'd checked the date you made it before posting I'd have made it on the actual anniversary!
