Sorry but you don't have a clue.
Uxbridge.
Hmm... first word starts with E but 2nd letter is U; second word starts with U and second letter is X. I'm guessing the next word must start with either X or B (3rd letter in 2nd word).
I'll try both to see if I can draw out the pattern:
Xenia, OH.
Bradenton, FL
Marble Arch
I can't play it since the legend himself died a few years ago :'( Humph made the show.

I see you are a Crescentvacantist, Basilios. I don't share you scruples, so.....
Leicester Square (on the diagonal).
Clever move, but CHARING CROSS
You're hardly an Ignardian.
I know it's not really my turn but, as there aren't many people around at the moment, I'm invoking Trubshawe's 4th Convention:
Southfields
Hmmm. I don't think you thought that through, ludi...
Green Park
After so many two word answers, there needs to be a one word. I think it better start with a letter from the second half of the alphabet, as a defensive strategy.
Waterloo
I reckon you're in scrope, Jayne. I don't see how you're going to get out of that.
A bit unconventional, but...

I see you've gone for the Great Western Gambit. A bit dodgy, if you ask me. I suppose it was allowed by a ruling at the 1884 Oslo World Championship, although I've never been happy with that decision.
Anyway, I have to await my turn.
Are you sure it was 1884? I thought it was in 1890.

It depends which calendar you follow. I've never accepted the Julian, let alone the Gregorian.
I think I need to have recourse to the Heimlich Manoeuvre here. I gather it's permitted in situations like this.
Aldgate East

Yes!! According to the north-eastern convention, I can now use a two syllable word that starts with the last letter of the previous play:

Utilizing the acronym-convention rule in conjunction (in this case, GPS) with the inverse-coastal sister-city allowance, I give you
43.6667° N, 70.2667° W (Portland, ME)
It'll be interesting if someone goes with "Gematria Gamut" and adds those numbers up to arrive at the looping alphabet function for the first letter of the next play. Last time I saw that, 3 players fell off the board IMMEDIATELY.

Interesting idea, Gardener, but that would only work if someone were in loon and there were a full moon.
I'm going to go with...
Wimbledon.And I get a bonus for topicality!
It's close enough to the end of the month that I can follow up with a morphophonemic transformation:
Wapping
This gives me a fledger, doesn't it?
According to the Gutteridge ruling it does.
Nice play, Jayne. You'll be playing at Commonwealth level before long.
Gonna keep it simple with a low level Colonial play, utilizing the native dialect for a "suffix retention".
WappING > BeijING
Beijing.
this game makes less f@#$ing sense than Numberwang
This might seem a little unorthodox, but it is permitted under the Geneva Convention:
Alpha Centauri
A little unorthodox? I am shocked! I am going to do something extra conventional just to calm things down:

I agree with you entirely, Jayne. I, too, am shocked by the outlandish and unsporting play of certain parties here. I'm glad you tried to bring things back within the ambit of the M25.
Your last move is not permitted, however. You can't get from Alpha Centauri to Snaresbrook without going the wrong direction down a one-way street. If you don't believe me, check your A-to-Z.

I think can rectify that using a play drawn from the 1966 Unviersity of Calgary team's 43-Man Squamish playbook, modified with arpeggiated xavian scale widdlings;
Barsoom
I think a very short journey across the road to
Malacandra
shouldn't be too outré for fellow players' sensibilities. It is not unprecedented (cf. Denzinger 2341).
This seems like something they'd play in "Hitchhiker's Guide" or in a sketch by Monty Python
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mornington_Crescent_%28game%29
This whole game seems like some document that I and some friends composed back in high school. So I'll just quote from that document...
basically george washington was a hippy that was all like "Yo king george, you stole my name!!!! i'm gonna protest!!!!!" and he came to
america
and became president because he wanted to be the king but america was poor because the only americans back then were hippies and the pirates were beastly and anyways, king george pwned george washington during the revolutionatry war
Now that we are on the superior continent, let's travel to the Great White North

i think that actually is an invalid move, your not supposed to let people in on the joke.
ahem, i mean, under section 3-HK751 of the COINTELPRO program that's an illegal move. i'll invoke the barclay-swevenson clause and declare your next three turns null and void. a fitting pairing for the barclay-swevenson, i'll employ the double-hubble-bubble-trouble maneuvre as demonstrated by abercrombie and fitch (though in a much more effeminate fashion than the way i'm using it right now) which with the cronium inverse schwartzenheimer magnified by the current price of fish in china brings us to:
F*cking, Austria (yes that's a real placename)
Does that make the move I made, prior to your post, invalid?
If so, I object per the Equestria rules of 1746
