While I’m steeling myself for another trek around the streets of the capital I thought it might be an idea to present a brief overview of where this project has taken me to date.
I started out in July 2015 with the aim of walking every street featured in the large scale central section of the mini London A-Z. This is essentially the area within the yellow line in the map above. That original objective was eventually achieved in June 2019.
After a break of several months I decided to resume the walks with an extended target represented by the full compass of the map above (AZ Central London 2019); which is roughly equivalent to Zone 1 of the Tube and comprised of about 6,000 streets in total.
As you can see, in the five years since, I’ve probably got about halfway to that goal. These subsequent walks have been less frequent but have generally covered larger areas which is partly why the posts have become increasingly lengthy – rambling in more ways than one.
This map is quite biased towards West London and, as a result, my most recent excursions have actually taken me beyond its eastern border. When I do venture out again it looks like I’m going to have to bite the bullet and try and fill in some of those gaps south of the river.
