Yes, I scored 100. But how did you do?

diamond geezer | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 8:04 a.m. | #

72. No Brixton, Streatham or Forest Hill!?

Richard | 08.05.17 - 8:09 a.m. | #

83. Lacking in the south and south west extremities

scrumpy | 08.05.17 - 8:13 a.m. | #

Eighty-four. The places that I've never visited are mainly in the North-West (examples - Harefield, Hatch End) and the South-East (Examples - Thamesmead, Welling). Your relative lack of places in the southern boroughs perhaps reflects your own choices when deciding on a day out.

Dan | 08.05.17 - 8:19 a.m. | #

85 - missing far west and some south

John g | 08.05.17 - 8:20 a.m. | #

56. Filled up squares 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 (bar maybe 1 box) but scored only 1 or 2 in squares 2, 11 and 12.

Alfie | 08.05.17 - 8:21 a.m. | #

Most of which (In fact the "Obscure" ones - South London) are a long time after I left London to live

Daniel Farnes | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 8:21 a.m. | #

42 - could definitely do better.

Robert | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 8:23 a.m. | #

40.

For what it's worth, most of my ticks were in columns one and two, and in rows two to four. A definite bias towards my south-west manor.

A so-so 52. I always knew that falling asleep that night on the Northern Line would be of use one day. Morden? Tick!

Kevin | 08.05.17 - 8:37 a.m. | #

62, at a conservative estimate - I have not counted places like Eltham where I "wandered about a bit" just changing buses.

Two boxes are full (the ones headed by Chessington and Camden) and four more are missing only one each (Morden, West Drayton, Canonbury and West Wickham)

None of the other boxes have more than four ticks, with Harlesden alone in its box.

99, I can't remember anything about Wallington, but then.......

Over the years I've also lived in 6 of the boxes and worked in 9, no surprise those three omissions are on the bottom line.

Ham | 08.05.17 - 8:44 a.m. | #

55. But only 5 in the top row - you can tell I lived south of the river for my 7 years in London.

Adam | 08.05.17 - 8:47 a.m. | #

63, mainly by going to visit pubs with friends. This is a very useful reminder of some of the places I will now have to visit, if time permits.

76

Mick | 08.05.17 - 8:50 a.m. | #

64. Grew up in Croydon, lived in West London for a good few years. Only a handful in the first box.

Peter of London | 08.05.17 - 8:53 a.m. | #

51. As I now live and work in Berkshire it is highly unlikely I'll get round the East London ones where the majority of my gaps are.

Claire | 08.05.17 - 8:53 a.m. | #

62. I used to live in north-west Surrey, so have lots of West and South London, and am now in Finchley. Very few in South East and North East London though.

The Banbury Man | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 8:55 a.m. | #

90 - though I've had long waits for buses in Edmonton, Welling and Feltham I pretty much just sat around there doing nothing.

I'm missing Harefield, Palmers Green, Edmonton, Harold Hill, Chessington, Feltham, Wallington, West Wickham, Biggin Hill and Welling.

the orange one | 08.05.17 - 9:04 a.m. | #

Oof, only 34, and I pride myself on walking everywhere. But I've only worked in London for a few years.

Ben | 08.05.17 - 9:05 a.m. | #

I was very strict in applying 'been to' and you can tell I am a north London born and bred ...

From the first two rows [broadly north of the river] the result was 61/64, though a more lenient interpretation would have got the further 3 ... From Hornchurch to Harefield I could tell you of at least one occasion I had reason to go to these places ...

But south of the Thames my result was 11/36 ... It may have been more [honestly 'guv, I have ventured there on occasions] but I am so unfamiliar with the area, it might as well be a different planet...

Perhaps DG, you can arrange a tour!

I have always wanted to visit Biggin Hill, my dear Mum loves Kingston, and I've never been, and my only impression of Peckham comes from Del Boy...

PJS | 08.05.17 - 9:08 a.m. | #

76 - but then my job has and continues to take me all over London.

Stephen | 08.05.17 - 9:10 a.m. | #

Only 75 I'm ashamed to say. Being Bermondsey born and bred but havng moved to Beckenham when I married,I really should have been to more but I think it's about having a definite reason for a visit. Some of these areas on my 'to go to see' list,before someone takes away my freedom pass! 😟

Jo W | 08.05.17 - 9:13 a.m. | #

56...nothing much in the north west, nor much in the north generally (apart from the East, where I currently live). Quite a strong showing in the south east/west which gives away my roots!

ClaireC58 | 08.05.17 - 9:15 a.m. | #

29 - All blanks in the east/southeast the exception being Woolwich!!

Aidan | 08.05.17 - 9:17 a.m. | #

54 - dominated by the southern sections, naturally! When I first came to London (and especially after discovering this blog) I spend a fair bit of time wandering DG-esquely around (especially the Capital Ring & thereabouts). Nowadays I have no free time and no longer live in London...

David F | 08.05.17 - 9:32 a.m. | #

81 but i used to live in London. Also might be a bit more or a bit less (less likely) but my memory is a bit patchy in places.

wolf | 08.05.17 - 9:34 a.m. | #

99 - and I've passed through the 100th, Harefield, numerous times by bus without getting off.

Nico | 08.05.17 - 9:35 a.m. | #

56. Though if just passing through did count, it would be somewhere in the 90s. I'm trying to be fairly strict, walking around the block to change busses doesn't count. Though I'm sure there's one or two I've plain forgotten. Not bad for a foreigner, I guess.

Made a judgement call that Addington Palace is nothing whatsoever to do with new Addington, despite being relatively nearby.

All of the middle two. Childhood and family covered a lot of the south east, adult homes and work, the south west. A great job added some north. Far north east block entirely empty.

RosemaryT | 08.05.17 - 9:39 a.m. | #

55. Lived in Finsbury Park, Hackney and Leytonstone for the 17 years I've lived here, and so West London is largely uncharted unless there's a football stadium in or nearby.

An even 60. Mostly lacking south west.

David | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 9:44 a.m. | #

74 - Most recently Morden (Saturday). Most deficient in SE. Never been to Thamesmead for example. I'd like to check out Abbey Wood station when that's finished so will be easy to combine the two. Hatch End? Not even 100% sure where that is. Towards Watford?

Lorenzo | 08.05.17 - 9:47 a.m. | #

Woah! A healthy dose of tube riding, geocaching and London parkrun scores me 97.

Geofftech | 08.05.17 - 9:48 a.m. | #

47

Richard | 08.05.17 - 9:54 a.m. | #

84. Mostly missing in the South and South-East. That's what 60 years as a North Londoner gets you..

Steve | 08.05.17 - 9:58 a.m. | #

40; mostly in south west and central although work has taken me to quite a few other areas I wouldn't otherwise have got to.

Geo_rich | 08.05.17 - 10:11 a.m. | #

48. Which I thought was pretty pathetic, so I'm reassured that there are at least a few lower scores above.

I only lived in London for eight years, but the first few of those were as a student, when I'd sometimes amuse myself by getting on the first bus that came, riding it to the end of the line, then trying to get home again using different buses. At least that's added a few of the more far-flung locations to my score.

Claire in Cambridge | 08.05.17 - 10:11 a.m. | #

74. Walking the entire London Loop helps, as does living in London for 30 years.

Merton walker | 08.05.17 - 10:21 a.m. | #

About 62. Haven't lived in London for nearly 20 years, but I got around a bit while I was there.

100% for me, done then all, some before 1984. Been a Berliner for 34 years now.

I'm not a Londoner anymore!

Gladys | 08.05.17 - 10:30 a.m. | #

62.
And 62 years a Londoner. Living/working Central/E/SE/S London fully covers those parts of the table.
But in terms of 'footfall' it's actually the full 100 - Four years spent as a London based motorcycle courier will do that!

Dave | 08.05.17 - 10:34 a.m. | #

73 definites (maybe a few more I've forgotten about) - Lived in London all my life. Although pedantically the first 15 years was actually in Essex until London took over east of the river Lea in 1965.

Agent Z | 08.05.17 - 10:40 a.m. | #

Being a NW Londoner I've done all of box 1, and all but one of the 2 beneath it and the 2 central boxes.
Walking the entire London Loop helped with the rest!

Cornish Cockney | 08.05.17 - 11:15 a.m. | #

45. Helped by having lived at a few different points of the compass, even though I'm thoroughly SW nowadays.

Also aided in the last 18 months by discovering the game Ingress and playing an awful lot of that. Somewhat forced exploring!

gooneruk | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 11:21 a.m. | #

46 - Mostly NW, SW and Central.
Though I suspect my "true" answer might be more, as until my family moved away from London when I was 9, we would often go on day trips visiting places. So I suspect I probably have been to Hampstead - but I don't specifically remember - so it is a "No"

Konstantin | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 11:36 a.m. | #

71 plus perhaps 3 or 4 more that I feel sure I must have visited but can’t actually remember doing anything other than driving through. My total would have been substantially lower before I walked the Capital Ring and the London Loop.

You “suspect most people who live in London will have been to Camden, Mayfair, Stratford and London Bridge”. I can’t remember ever visiting Camden and my only brief experience of Stratford was when walking the Capital Ring.

39, and I was born in London and lived there until I was 19, and have had plenty of family and work reasons to go there since, and I think I have been a bit generous with some borderline cases. So quite disappointed really.

A fascinating exercise - thank you.

Mother of the Bride | 08.05.17 - 12:10 p.m. | #

I've lived in London since 1992. I've lived South (Oval, Clapham, Brixton) and North East (Dalston, Lower Clapton) and worked North West (Ladbroke Grove) South West (Wandsworth) and Central (City).

Some very familiar places here, of course, and some I've certainly only been to once (Colindale Newspaper Library, a riding school in Chingford, grabbing a curry in Morden on the way back from Epsom race course). A couple of memories which I've not sure are phantom or not - did I go and look at a motorbike in Doble's in Coulsdon once ? - and so have discounted. Only one I've literally never heard of - Harefield !

North West is my weakness, a vale of darkness which descends just beyond Bush Hall. I had to dredge up a visit to a college friend's parents' house 25 years ago to tick off Harrow...

Chris | 08.05.17 - 12:11 p.m. | #

52. Not that high, given I've lived in N4 since 1978.

Gordon | 08.05.17 - 12:24 p.m. | #

88. All of columns 2-4 except Rainham, most of my misses in West London (Harefield, Hatch End, Brentford, Chessington etc)

Lived in London from 2005-2009 (Croydon, Wood Green and Leytonstone) and used to travel all round London on charity shop expeditions in search of rare records. Also helped by having walked a lot of the Capital Ring and some of the London Loop. Also helping was doing Walk the Tube 2016 which entailed some walking between stations in previously unvisited locations (Uxbridge, Ickenham etc). Finally my girlfiend and I are currently completing a postcode challenge (a pint in a pub in every London postcode) which has added things like Thamesmead and Palmers Green.

Mark | 08.05.17 - 12:25 p.m. | #

56

Henry | 08.05.17 - 12:25 p.m. | #

63, I think. Most of the empty spaces are in the far north-west, south-west and south-east.

A month or two after my daughter was born, we realised she'd ticking off around a borough a week, so we tried setting a challenge of trying to get her round all 32 (plus the City) by her first birthday. As my wife took her to some, it means she's been to more bits of London than I have, despite only having been a Londoner for two and a bit years.

martin | 08.05.17 - 12:29 p.m. | #

83. Many of the places I've visited have been after I left London.

Tetramesh | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 12:33 p.m. | #

40. Somewhat disappointingly bearing in mind the 19 years I've lived in London.

Tony | 08.05.17 - 12:37 p.m. | #

39 - slightly lower than the scores of some others, but I'm only a sixth former so will (hopefully) have a long time to visit more of these places (especially in the south of the city).

Sed | 08.05.17 - 12:41 p.m. | #

61. Need to go West and North West more often.

Matt | 08.05.17 - 12:42 p.m. | #

42. Missing almost all of the North and East. South, West and Central relatively well covered!

MS | 08.05.17 - 12:46 p.m. | #

45 ... I thought I would have done better, guess I need to get around London more instead of heading to green fields

Caz | 08.05.17 - 12:46 p.m. | #

Just 33 I'm saddened to say - but that's just counting those that I've visited, messed around a bit, done some shopping or visited friends. Rather than just walking through or changing buses....

The Legendary Zelda | 08.05.17 - 12:49 p.m. | #

99 just one I can't be certain of although I know I've definitely passed through it in a vehicle (West Drayton).
I thought my score was going to be lower but then I remembered there were lots of visits to some of the named locations that a very very much younger me was taken to.

98 Lived in London all my 82 years, and a transit buff so lots of exploring bus routes and railways.
As far as I can remember only passed through Coulsdon many times on train or bus, and Hatch End by train, but never got off in either place.

3078260061 | 08.05.17 - 1:15 p.m. | #

56. More if it were passing through, but eh. You've given me some places to visit in the near future...

EonLeader | 08.05.17 - 1:22 p.m. | #

Hmm 35 in 20 years. I need to get out more.

Uncle Audrey | 08.05.17 - 1:40 p.m. | #

68 places with 4 complete blocks, not surprisingly mostly in north and west London and more sparse in the south and east.

ActonMan | 08.05.17 - 1:46 p.m. | #

70. I did once have a job going round stations checking season ticket records, and always tried to explore new areas when I had time.

amber | 08.05.17 - 1:46 p.m. | #

36, NE and SE are my weak areas, although have passed through many as I've been to all 270 tube stations.

Ian | 08.05.17 - 1:57 p.m. | #

97-100

The three I'm not entirely sure about are Welling, West Wickham and Hornchurch but definitely passed those on a train and car.

My visits were not as in-depth as DG but I did them as part of travelling on all tube lines and a proper, complete bus circumnavigation (unlike DG's which was merely a very good approximation, I actually took the "outermost" bus even if it only counted for 1 stop)

While I didn't get out of the car in all these places, I drove around lots of side streets and residential areas, not just passed through, so I am counting them.

John | 08.05.17 - 2:07 p.m. | #

80, mostly missing E/SE places, having grown up in Highbury and now in NW London. I don't feel any great compulsion to fill the gaps, having passed through most of them!

Keith | 08.05.17 - 2:15 p.m. | #

69
Most of my gaps are in the right hand column

cliffh | 08.05.17 - 2:35 p.m. | #

I got 89, sadly missing a few of the outer London ones. I'll get to them all one day.

Ewan | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 2:48 p.m. | #

62, covered most of the west. Apparently haven't covered much of the East.

46! I was proud of that until I saw all of your scores :/

alex | 08.05.17 - 3:11 p.m. | #

50. exactly half.

I have 28 out of 32 in the middle 4 boxes, which I'm guessing is the ones nearest the river Thames.

Endlessly running on various parts of the Thames path has it's benefits

Lumma | 08.05.17 - 3:45 p.m. | #

57, and I feel I lived in or near most of those!

Ian Brooker | 08.05.17 - 3:46 p.m. | #

55, very south/west heavy. Only 3 in total across the first row, and missing quite a few across the E column. Although across 5 years, I'd say that's a pretty decent average.

Marco | 08.05.17 - 4:05 p.m. | #

94 - I was a bus spotter in my youth; I follow a non-league football team; I'm a Rambler; and I've had relatives in various parts of London. I can only think about 7 of your list where I might not have stopped to change buses.

Stephen Bird | 08.05.17 - 4:33 p.m. | #

44, Ealing by birth, virtually obscure to going places south of the river.....rather like taxis.

pedro | 08.05.17 - 4:37 p.m. | #

I've actually properly been to 55 of those, and been through about another 20 on the bus.

My wife never lived in London with me- we were out in Hemel- but got her wedding dress in Chingford. True fact.

Arctic Troll | 08.05.17 - 4:42 p.m. | #

All 100 for me.
Mainly through bus spotting

Leonard | 08.05.17 - 4:48 p.m. | #

67
Rather happy with that, well aware that pretty much all of the West is still on my to-go list.

commonliner | 08.05.17 - 5:05 p.m. | #

46, though a few may be a bit of a stretch. I claimed Stepney on the grounds I've walked around Shadwell, Whitechapel and Limehouse and the Thames Path in between.

Matt Buck | 08.05.17 - 5:24 p.m. | #

Not bad for someone who's only been living in London for 18 months. The Freedom Pass is a wonderful thing!! Wouldn't have travelled so far and wide if I had to fork out for fares each time.

Quite a few of the Essex/Middlesex places have been only the once or twice.

47 - Rather shocking! Although if you counted driving through by bus I could probably add about 5-10 more. Only lived in East London I've filled most of the top right boxes (just missed out Rainham) and surprisingly all except Chelsea in the middle left. Hardly any in the South East.

Nothing wrong with being selective though.

Stuart | 08.05.17 - 6:57 p.m. | #

57 -

Could've done 150 places to be a lot more inclusive.

Dan | 08.05.17 - 7:01 p.m. | #

I got 93, just goes to show how much time i have spent riding buses and trains around London, doing the loop walk also ensured many of the places were ticked off the list.

Embarrassingly only 50. But then for the last 40 plus years I've lived in NYC.
As someone from north London I was surprised that it was west not south that I have missed.

But then I have lived in London for 48 years - 12 of which was as a location finder.

David Craig | Homepage | 08.05.17 - 7:29 p.m. | #

A nice round 60.

Lived down here for about 8 years now, so that's not a bad total.

There's a heavy concentration around north and east London - managed to tick everything in 2 of the boxes and was only one away from a third! South-east and north-west London are the worst-represented.

Moogal | 08.05.17 - 7:39 p.m. | #

84. Most of my gaps in the south-Western bit of Greater London.

Dominic H | 08.05.17 - 7:44 p.m. | #

99, possibly 100 as can't remember if I've been to Biggin Hill or not.

Joe | 08.05.17 - 7:44 p.m. | #

83 out of 100. Pretty happy with that, although been quite some time since I've done any serious walks to anywhere new in London.

36 - counting ones I have been in around the last 5 ish years.

With only 4 on the bottom row, I definitely need to visit South of the river a bit more. Also only a single tick in the West and North East sectors is a bit disappointing, especially since I have lived in London my whole life.

Thomas | 08.05.17 - 8:31 p.m. | #

76- I must visit North and East more often but South and West almost 100%.

Colin | 08.05.17 - 8:34 p.m. | #

That includes all but four of boxes 2,3,5,6,7

At age 16!!!

I think being a bit of a transport geek has helped a lot...

Leo | 08.05.17 - 8:47 p.m. | #

14---far too low. I could have potentially included others, but not by many, and haven't really been to them properly.

59 - but I am in the South so a bit disadvantaged.

If Canonbury is central surely Walworth and several others in the central list I would think of as being as central as 4 or 5 in the southern list.

dg writes: North London (360 square miles) is significantly larger than South London (250 square miles).

Mark | 08.05.17 - 9:52 p.m. | #

71. A strange interest in trips to odd places and post-industrial wastelands, paid off here (Sunday in Erith anyone?). My wife, who unlike me is a born-and-bred North Londoner, generally stayed north of the river before we met but still managed a respectable 52.

50 all but one in the SW area and one in the SE area but something from all the boxes

Dave B | 08.05.17 - 11:14 p.m. | #

75.

Having run the Capital Ring, and 3/4 of the London Loop really helped - the only really sparse area is the NE, which should get ticked off this year when completing the Loop.

Simon W | 08.05.17 - 11:30 p.m. | #

79 - but I had the benefit of working for TfL which took me all over the tube map. Hence my familiarisation with southeast London is fairly low

Kluiv | 08.05.17 - 11:53 p.m. | #

89

A tube record attempt research, plus 32 years a Londoner, and a friend who likes to explore with me means that I only have a few gaps, mainly to the NW, E, and SE. A planned excursion with him this summer will knock a few off.

Ken. | 09.05.17 - 12:03 a.m. | #

70 - work takes me around the place a lot too - as well as family, various lovers, studies, and insatiable curiosity. As work involves historic buildings, I have the added pleasure of getting to know new locations in considerable detail.

Markedly fewer ticks top right. Come from bottom left.

NickW | 09.05.17 - 12:15 a.m. | #

77 - possibly a couple more, walking most bits of the Capital Ring and London LOOP probably gets to a lot of them.

Rover | 09.05.17 - 12:46 a.m. | #

Wow. 93 for me after 25 years of being in London, based in a place actually on the list. So just Harefield, Feltham, Kingsbury, Whetstone, Dagenham, Rainham and Thamesmead unvisited.

56, ticked more in the East and South East as expected.

CG | 09.05.17 - 8:03 a.m. | #

67, not bad for a blow in Northerner. Playing amateur footy & doing a bit of of recreational cycling and walking has got me to a few places I'd not otherwise have bothered with. Quite a fun diverson for 5 minutes!

It does seem a bit lacking in areas of south London (Waterloo, Kennington, Oval, Brixton, Streatham, Tooting, etc)

dg writes: I wish I'd put one more blob somewhere between Kennington, Brixton and Camberwell, but it's too late to change that now. Waterloo's on the list.

I have definitely stuck to west and central London for the most part, with touristy visits to the East and South. I am at 55, but may have been to more. I just cannot be 100% sure.

RichardM | 11.05.17 - 11:03 a.m. | #

78 done - a fair number despite living in London most of my life. I've done every single London bus route from end to end, every station, tube line, rail route etc - some places like Harold Hill/Hornchurch I have passed through but not set foot in.

Mainly been around north and west/south west with gaps in the north east and south east. Didn't realise that there were so many places I know relatively well from travelling through them, but have never had a reason to break a journey to explore.

Lived in London since 1973, and was hesitant about counting places I knew then but haven't been to since, but if we all did that there would have to be a debate about when the cut-off point might be.

I wonder if we start off travelling far and wide across London and then shorten our horizons when we get caught in the work/school-run/commute cycle for many years. Now I have more time I can roam more widely - and I've got a bucket list now. Thanks DG.

Visited most parts of London with noticable exceptions out East. All of South East London (Box 12) visited because I live there. Luckily not Thamesmead or Woolwich but all are regularly visited throughout the year.
Worked in Ruislip/Harrow/Feltham many years ago.
