This graticule covers the parts of the United Kingdom (UK) from 52° to 53° latitude, and -1° to -0° longitude. It contains the towns of Northampton, Peterborough and Bedford. It extends as far east as Royston, and as far west as Buckingham, but not as far as Leicester or Nottingham. In the south, the graticule nearly reaches to Milton Keynes, and in the north it contains Grantham and Boston.
When following the XKCD geohashing algorithm, append the fractional hash part to 52° latitude and -0° longitude. Note the use of negative zero.
