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
Leave comments, plans and speculation regarding upcoming meet-ups here.
Wednesday 20th May: Anyone for a visit to Shoreditch? Hashpoint is in the middle of Kingsland Road.
- I would certainly come, if it meant I would get to meet another geohasher there! It's great that London is not totally devoid of activity after all. So who are you, and what time did you have in mind for a meetup? I'm in Cambridge at the moment, and could get to Shoreditch at any time this afternoon or evening, provided I have a couple of hours' notice. Certainly keen, though. Let me know, either here or on my talk page. -- Benjw 12:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
