This graticule is in the United Kingdom and contains the City of London, the West End, and many western boroughs of London. It also extends as far as Slough and Reading to the west, Luton to the north, and Crawley to the south.

  • I would certainly come, if it meant I would get to meet another geohasher there! It's great that London is not totally devoid of activity after all. So who are you, and what time did you have in mind for a meetup? I'm in Cambridge at the moment, and could get to Shoreditch at any time this afternoon or evening, provided I have a couple of hours' notice. Certainly keen, though. Let me know, either here or on my talk page. -- Benjw 12:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Past activity

2009

  • 15th March (Sunday): A friend of Benjw visited and took pictures on Saturday morning, a day early. Benjw then visited on Sunday, the correct day.

2008

  • 15th December 2008 (Monday): Amersham Road, close to Chalfont and Latimer Rail Station. Kate cycled from Uxbridge (and was super excited about a Northern Hemisphere Geohash!)

Considered geohashes

  • 2008-05-31 -- Kit 09:32, 31 May 2008 (GMT) - I'll probably come. Quite happy with the new location - it's a few metres north of the 's' in 'Monk's Gate' on this OS map and thus not far from a public path.
Despite lots of talking about it, Steve didn't make it.
The new location is in the middle of a wood (probably private) whereas the old one is just a few metres off a public foothpath!
