D is the access stairs which lead to Triangle Sidings located between Gloucester Road and Earls Court on the District Line

A is definitely DLR but I'm struggling to place it. Going with between Poplar and Blackwall for starters. B feels like the new Pudding Mill Lane station. C I feel may have been featured recently but there are a lot of bridges with that basic design principle!

I think B must be the Acton diveunder.

Is C somewhere in the vicinity of Willesden Junction? No. Again the wrong side of London.

Is C Westbourne Bridge over the H&C and Circle Lines and TFL Rail outside Paddington? I suspect not as Willesden Junction is the wrong side of London, as is Stratford and Liverpool Street...

I was initially confused about C because of the presence of the overhead wire but having had another look at it I think it must be the bridge next to New Cross Gate Depot.

Possibly (whether Acton and New Cross Gate are triangular junction is debatable) but that's not what we're looking for

Ah, I think I see it now. I'm surprised I didn't notice this before but these locations are all part of or immediately adjacent to grade separated junctions.
