[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]
The graticule in London West contains the City, West End, and many western boroughs. It also extends as far as Slough and Reading to the west, Luton to the north, and Crawley to the south.
The graticule has boundaries from 52° to 51° latitude, and -1° to -0° longitude. When following the XKCD geohashing algorithm, append the fractional hash part to 51° latitude and -0° longitude. Note the use of negative zero.
