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.

Thursday 16 April: Today's hashpoint is on a platform at Paddington station! (The furthest south-west platform, near where the roofed section ends.) Probably a large number of people will pass through this one, but will anyone plan to?
- 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? Homsar 21:37, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

- 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!)
- 2nd July 2008 (Wednesday): Near the A30 past Blackbushe Airport. Mudskipper40 cycled past but did not stop to reach the exact location.
- 7th June 2008 (Saturday): Thirteen people met between platforms 13 and 14 in Waterloo Station.
- 24th May 2008 (Saturday): A small wood near Dunsfold, a mile to the south-west; streetmap.co.uk shows a path going to the exact point! Four people met up.
