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.

Meetup planning

  • 2012-06-12 51 -0 => Mampfred, LadyBB and EmmJay consider grabbing this hash on their way from the airport to their accomodation. Any local hasher up for a meet around 7pm (subject to change depending on actual arrival at the airport)?

2009

  • 2nd October (Friday) - 4 geohashers made it to Highmoor Cross (near Reading) in what must be the western-most geohash in this graticule - on the -0.999 border. Had a great time!
  • 15th March (Sunday): A friend of Benjw visited and took pictures on Saturday morning, a day early. Benjw then visited on Sunday, the correct day.

2008

  • 15th December 2008 (Monday): Amersham Road, close to Chalfont and Latimer Rail Station. Kate cycled from Uxbridge (and was super excited about a Northern Hemisphere Geohash!)

Considered geohashes

  • 2008-05-31 -- Kit 09:32, 31 May 2008 (GMT) - I'll probably come. Quite happy with the new location - it's a few metres north of the 's' in 'Monk's Gate' on this OS map and thus not far from a public path.
Despite lots of talking about it, Steve didn't make it.
The new location is in the middle of a wood (probably private) whereas the old one is just a few metres off a public foothpath!
