I'm not sure about the UK version but here in Canada...I'd vote YORX. A crappy brand from SEARS that was only purchased if you hated your tapes and wanted them wound around the capstan spindle

Great post. For some reason I see the TPR-959 as Regent Street

I'd put eBay as Jail. You can 'just visit' from the outside or you have to pay to leave once inside.

I've tried to get a decent spread of manufacturers & major grails. I've included reasons for including (who & why they're famous, etc.) if they've occurred to me.
Mayfair JVC M90 (major Grail, LL Cool J)
Park Lane Conion C100 (major Grail)
Bond Street Sanyo BigBen (major Grail)
Oxford Street Sharp GF777 (major Grail, Run DMC)
Regent Street Aiwa TPR950
Piccadilly Discolite (far too high, but had to be)
Coventry Street Tecsonic J-1 Super Jumbo (Radio Raheem in Do The Right Thing)
Leicester Square Lasonic 931 (quintessential boomer)
Trafalgar Square JVC 550 (10” woofer mono)
Fleet Street Sharp VZ2500 (w record deck)
Strand Toshiba WX-1
Vine Street Fisher PH492 (3pc)
Marlborough Street Panasonic RX-DT75 (best egg)
Bow Street Pioneer 909
Northhumberland Avenue JVC M70
Whitehall Sony CFS99
Pall Mall Realistic SCR-6
Pentonville Road JVC Kaboom (for sheer longevity & crazy bass)
Euston Road Hitachi 3D7 (gotta have a 3D 
)
The Angel, Islington Beosystem 10 (on sleek looks alone)
Whitechapel Road Sharp GF9000*
Old Kent Road Philips D8444*
* = often cited as disappointing sound compared to looks
I'll leave the stations & utilities to someone else...

Great list Isolator...I'd swap the Discolite with M70..but other than that
isolator42 - 2012-03-28 07:52
The discolite has to be Piccadilly Circus:

Damn, it was staring me right in the face
Wait a god damn minute.... Has anyone ever seen Trafalgar Square from the air...
