I think anyone who has never been to London will find this challenge almost impossible.We need clues that don't require knowledge of London in order to be helpful.

That's OK, I hoped it would be a straightforward one. There has been a national fund raising campaign to pay for this edifice. More money is needed to provide funds for upkeep.

Here's the picture which should unlock those answers.

Well done guys, I never expected this to prove so difficult. Not an easy walk in the park!

OK, I think I've read the rules correctly. Admiral was the first to answer the remaining question correctly. So it's over to AAif I'm wrong, then Scifan has the challenge.

Cheers. I'm off for a rest now :)

During the flurry of posts by Kevin, scifan and me
scifan posted the opening date + the Gibb connection at the same time Kevin edited his initial answer to include the opening date.

Take us places scifan.

I was standing at the top of a steep slope,4,000 feet above the town,when I took this picture.I was just above the tree line and snow was still on the ground behind me in late June.
 
I'm going to say Port Valdez and guess that you took the picture from an overlook on Dock Point Trail. What I'm uncertain of is whether that's part of Stone Mountain.
