Re: May 24th '08 ---- the location was a little over a quarter mile north of the Top Gear test track! Though I know it may not be cool to like TG and XKCD at the same time, and there likely wouldn't have been any action going on, did you not feel tempted to have a look? :) 77.102.101.220 18:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
This page has an unloved feel about it. Any objections if I tidy up the planning and past activity sections? I'm sure there's some discussion somewhere on decent layout for graticule pages but I'm struggling to find it... -- NorseMark 21:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Retro Geohashes

Suggested Alternate Location
Today, I saw that somebody suggested an alternate location for the London West hash, in downtown London. I'm just wondering- is anybody actually going to be at the alternate location, and if so, when? It's fairly accessible from my location, and I'd gladly meet up with some geohashers, but I'd rather not wait around for a meet-up that may not occur, especially when it's not an actual hashpoint. -Haberdasher 07:21, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

2018-08-13 Meetup
The location for Monday the 13th of August for this graticule is in Limehouse, East London (and the location for the neighbouring London East graticule is in nearby Canning Town, also in East London).
Due to their being located in built-up areas with excellent transport links, I think either or both of these would be great candidates for a group meetup if anyone would be interested in that? Saxbophone (talk) 19:59, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
