:*It is oh-so-sorely tempting to come into the capital to get this hash, but I really can't afford £40 train fare for geohashing's sake! (My train would even take me to Paddington!) I ''think'' that this platform is platform 1, which I'm reliably informed by someone who frequents Paddington even more often than me is '''not blocked by ticket barriers''', so you wouldn't need to buy a ticket to Reading to get access to it. Could this be the biggest UK geohash ever? [[User:Homsar|Homsar]] 21:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

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.

Its territory ranges from 52° to 51° latitude, and from -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.

Wednesday 20th May: Anyone for a visit to Shoreditch? Hashpoint is in the middle of Kingsland Road.

I could certainly be tempted, if I'll get to meet another geohasher there! Who are you, and what time did you have in mind? I could get there any time from about 3pm (just!) onwards, as I'm in Cambridge right now. -- Benjw 12:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
