The British associated wonder is Battersea Powerplant, unique building is the Royal Exchange, and possibly the London Underground, creating a "City of London" or "Bank of England" unique quarter. I imagine it will give you access to great people.

I don't think "fantastical" wonders really bother me any more. After all, real-world natural wonders don't usually do the kind of things they do in the game either.
Natural wonders do inspire awe, reverence or respect in various human cultures. For instance, Australian Aboriginal peoples see natural features as totems or physical manifestations of their ancestors. Even places such as the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls became economic assets for Americans due to all the tourists that visit them every year. For Japanese Shintoist, Mount Fuji is sacred and part of their faith, etc.
Natural wonders, per se, do nothing, but historically, humans have attributed to natural wonders traits that inspire faith, commerce, tourism, and even agricultural wealth. Some cultures even treat natural features as living, sometimes even as human, beings. I believe that in-game bonuses from Natural Wonders represent that meaningful relationship that human cultures have had with nature. Its all about the attitude produced in humans after seeing such wonders and what they were motivated to do and how they interected with those natural features.
Spain's unique quarters aren't necessarily a specific place. The term "plaza mayor" refers to the main central square of an important city or town. Of course, the most important plaza mayor of the Spanish Empire would have been the one in Madrid, but the capitals of every Spanish viceroyalty in the New World (Mexico, Lima, Bogotá and Buenos Aires) all had a plaza mayor as well. In fact, by law, all new Spanish colonial towns and cities had to have a central plaza mayor and follow a strict grid pattern in which each city block had the same measurements as the central plaza mayor. That's why almost all towns and cities in Latin America have that central public square which is a legacy of the Spanish colonial plaza mayor.

Of course the Plaza isn't unique, but if I'm not mistaken the Casa de Contratación is unique and was even a wonder in Civ 6. I meant to split it so that Mexico's quarter and Spain's building are specific places
Long time C&C series fan here. There is still a Battersea model in RA2 and Yuri's Revenge! (Just that it is an unused content) I think Tiberian Sun has something modeled after Battersea as well. Westwood devs really like its architecture, it seems.

I agree with this, but some Unique Quarters do look like they could be thematically used multiple times such as Rome (many Temple of Jupiters and Basilicas), America, Egypt. I wonder if Firaxis kept that in mind and I'm probably gonna keep track of how many of each UQ I actually build per civ.

I've noticed that, despite slight changes in the appearance of the building for each railway station, the locomotives appear the same and all seem to be the American colonial style with big chimneys and cow catchers, which is incredibly jarring for me when looking at European cities. It would be very nice if the art team could also make the locomotives look more regionalised too by using a A3 Class for GB, and maybe Class 52s for Prussia etc...

Sure, this would be nice, but it’s way down on the list of priorities for me.
I’m more concerned in the lack of graphical variation in modern IPs — why did the representative from Kumasi look like he had jumped straight out of Hamilton? What happened to the regional clothing, especially since Ashanti clothing is so iconic and stunning,

Dang it Firaxis, you are making me think about the possibilities of Ada Lovelace's Mementos before we even understand the ramifications of at-launch mementos. I'm guessing they would have to be computer/anaylitical machine or maybe obtusely poetry-related for a Lord Byron connection perhaps? (so science and culture). If GB is so production and economical focused based on its civ-wonder and unique quarter. so whatever it is it probably will synergize with GB...
