Thanks I was looking for names of location in windows 7 itself. But no sucess. Thanks for this given locations.

I am just wondering if there is any site where is given all locations not only for uk.

Thanks.

The photographs in the Windows 7 UK theme that came with my new laptop (delivered yesterday) are completely different from the ones you show above. Are there two different UK themes?

There are 2 different themes for the uk  depending on your version of windows 7.  If you have professional, you will have the 'aero' theme (right click on desktop and select personalize) but you can download the standard uk theme by clicking on 'get mor themes online'.  

But that still doesn't answer your question.  Obviously in the theme there is Stonehenge, The Tower Bridge and the white cliffs.  The other three I have no Idea of, Sorry :(

Correction,

There are 3 uk themes.

The two non-aero themes are here:
