Still something to blog about :).
If I'm correct it's 12m to the north and 15m to all other directions.

Bandon had one of London's shortest lived railway stations (called Bandon Halt) opened in 1906 and closed for the duration, never to return in 1914. It was situated a little to the north on Plough Lane.

Congratulations on completing a fascinating and very readable and enjoyable series. I wonder where the tangents touching these four points around the 10-mile circle would intersect?

I think the AEC site was used by LT as a dump for unwanted buses, including Fleetlines (until they got resurrected for Bexleybus in 1988), also the offices at the Windmill Lane end look as though they have survived, as does the closed off pedestrian shortcut tunnel from Lyndhurst Avenue.

Can confirm that D.Parker are superb butchers, of the type rarely seen any more. They're mostly catering these days, but do a steady trade out of the shop front as well.

Excellent series, thank you!
Looking at your completed map, I'm sure the cross-quarter directions would be interesting, should you decide to do them as well - especially as the NW/SW lines run through areas I know well!
As a uni student I used to visit the residents of St Bernard's Hospital opposite the Southall site to 'enrich' their day. I'm not sure we succeeded!
Now of course, that's all housing, but Ealing Hospital is still right next door.
And the long and tedious Greenford Road (both to drive and on foot) back home again.

As someone who lives in North London it does feel that we are quite lucky in terms of the Green Belt which in many places starts far closer to central London than south of the river

It's good to be able to visualise how far west my home is from due south.
And, I should have been on one of those trains to Cardiff today, however, ill health dictates a delay until the new year.

Is 10 miles going to be the end of this excellent series?
North you seem to have run out of London and will be hiking through fields soon, but in other directions you could certainly keep going...

"I am very much stopping at Ten."
I can't make it much clearer than that.

I also think it would be interesting to see this done for the diagonals. I wonder if they would be more or less varied than what we've seen in this series.

I am also not doing any other compass points, thanks.
See tomorrow's post.

An excellent series. Betjeman could not have evoked the sense of place better.

South I wonder how many of the households actually had cars in the 30's compared to today where many have two or three?. At one time, the alleyways were often used by dustcarts (smaller than today's version) when the dustmen used to actually walk up the back path and empty the dustbin and carry the waste off to the cart.
Nowadays, everything seems to end up in front of the house and, unless concreted, or in continuous use, the alleyways tend to get overgrown.
