I have to admit that when not in Westminster I have been to County Durham.
That's a clever grid cartogram of the counties. Your own work?

I had no idea it was possible to walk through the Rotherhithe Tunnel. I have just read your blog, and thank you for having the experience on my behalf!
Sadly, none of the links from the 2008 blog work any more, I assume it’s one of these technical incompatibility things ..
I conjecture that there are some other places in London from which a one hour round trip walk visits four boroughs. (I won't risk a surely). But I suspect none of these walks has quite as much potential interest as yours.

Borsetshire is missing from the county grid.
Perhaps you might consider using the dangleway again. As you will get your own private cabin there shoud be no infection risk.
Ah, thanks for Campbell’s law. I was trying to recall the related Goodhart’s law recently in a discussion of the government’s testing targets (setting a measure as a target makes the measure useless, because it distorts behaviour - in this case the elision between when a test is actually done on a person to achieve a result for diagnostic reasons, and other things counted as a test because that helps you to reach the target).
The Rotherhithe Tunnel could be somewhat less poisonous these days.
My 'counting' for this year has been the number of times I've used the different toilets at work and for what reason.

Quite what I'll use this data for, I've no idea.
I live on the border of 3 boroughs - so those have my totals! I can't even remember pre-lockdown now!!
I'm similar to you CC, I live in Barnet, Camden is a 5 minute walk away and Haringey about 10 minutes so all feature heavily!

Looking at the map, Isington, Westminster and Brent are all within walking distance as well if I was desperate to "experience" different boroughs...
Purely by foot just two, Croydon and Sutton. Have a car and driven to Surrey and Kent for longish walks. V fortunate to have one.
During 2018 & 2019, I got round to most if not all of the boroughs in London.

This year has been much lower, partially because coronavirus but mainly starting work for the first time, so I've only been in the City of London, Hackney, Haringey, Havering, Islington, Newham, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.

I've been on a bus through Marks Gate which is on the northern tip of Barking & Dagenham, and regularly walk along Victoria Park Road, which is on the border of Tower Hamlets but doesn't quite count.

Out of London, I went to the Northants and Milton Keynes.
Campbell's Law doesn't always 'distort and corrupt', for only when certain things are measured or counted can the extent of some inequality or imbalance (eg. in society) be revealed, and steps taken to correct or compensate for it.
Please visit Berkshire again.
I keep too a record of the boroughs I visit, and had done all but one during 2020 before lockdown, although I don’t keep a record of the frequency. Like you, since lockdown I’ve been reduced to a handful - Lambeth (where I live), Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster (all a short walk away). Recently, I’ve deliberately added some more that I can reach in a two-hour walk - the City, Camden (Lincoln’s Inn Fields) and Kensington & Chelsea (the Royal Hospital). I’m not sure there are many more I can reach on foot - Merton, possibly - but I’ll probably try...
Surely this is the ideal time to use the Underground, before the hoards return?

Walk through Brent(home) Barnet and Camden on my twice weekly excursion to Hampstead Heath.
Could do Westminster if there as anything interesting close to the southern end of Kilburn High Road.
My nearest parks are both in the next-door borough, so my total since lockdown for that borough is almost as great as my own. But until today I had only been in one other, and that only once. But I added another two today as I went to one borough to get my car serviced and went for a walk into another one whilst I waited.
