[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]
The graticule in London East contains the East End of London, and extends through Basildon to Southend-on-sea, also covering Maidstone, Chelmsford, Harlow and Colchester. It includes such diverse locations as the O2 Milennium Dome, the Isle of Sheppey, and London Stansted Airport.
The graticule has boundaries from 52° to 51° latitude, and 0° to 1° longitude. When following the XKCD geohashing algorithm, append the fractional hash part to 51° latitude and 0° longitude.
Today's Location: [London East, United Kingdom]
Saturday meet-up locations
In darkest Thamesmead, just off the 244 bus route. Could only take sly photos due to dodgy looking locals.
The coordinates are right at the north of the grat, just east of Castle Hedingham. See here. MooUK cannot make it due to being broken.
The co-ordinates are in the middle of a field, with the closest civilisation either the small town/village of Hunsdon or the town of Ware. Reached by walking across country from Roydon train station. Found a swamp.
