7) is from around my country. It's from one end of Øresundsbron (Øresund Bridge) which connects Sweden to Denmark.

Actually, a misconception - "Big Ben" refers to the name of the actual bell inside the tower and not the building itself. A typical tourist error. It is actually called Clock Tower. Look HERE

This could make the difference - if anyone calls it "Big Ben" you can point out they are wrong and give yourself an advantage...

3 doesn't look like anything in the UK. Looks quite renaissance; maybe Rome, Florence, France??
