Gonna take a stab at Harris Mountains, New Zealand although they could be anywhere.

No not New Zealand, not that far a field, somewhat closer.
It is one mountain's name I'm after, the highest in the photo.
Not been up it myself, but we did take this photo a couple of years ago.

Where is this lighthouse?  The second picture also has some significance.  An extra point for what it is about.

Fester beat me to it: so I'll go for the extra point:

Admiral Jervis with Commodore Nelson defeated the Spanish fleet in 1797 at a second Battle of Cape St. Vincent on 14 February 1797.

A bit more detail on the actual painting:
Battle of Cape St. Vincent - Admiral Nelson boarding the San Josef and receiving the Spanish Admiral's sword. The naval Battle of Cape St. Vincent took place on February 14, 1797, near Cape St. Vincent, Portugal, between a British fleet and a Spanish fleet and was an important battle during the Wars of the French Revolution.

Looks like one point each!  Didn't think it looked Portuguese, could be anywhere, like a mountain!     _))*

Clue it is in a London Borough.   And is only part of a vast collection.

Here is the Building and another clue.
