TQ2167: has the distinction of including my two childhood homes, my wife's home and the church where we got married. New Malden rules, OK!

Up to 97%, which must be almost unbeatable - maybe a very long established cabbie or delivery driver could have covered a lot, but you’d need something to pull you to the other side of the city

Looks like four targeted visits could clear the reds and blues, although that might involve too much excitement in a short space of time. Or maybe not.

my collecting behaviours only run to a collection of model space shuttles, hovercraft, type b buses, unmade plastic kits and lego kits, one finished.

Sophie who? Dahl? Ellis-Bextor? Countess of Wessex? Loren?
I just know I'll regret asking. |

The Sophie who made half a dozen sophisticated comments on the original 14th June post. Whether she is any of the Sophies you list, only she knows.

TQ2899 - as I'd sometimes considered walking up from there to cross the M25 and never done it, what's the issue with the footpath to make it "outstandingly" unwelcome?

Wow I really wasn't expecting my name to be mentioned

This series reminds me of the paradox of the lowest uninteresting number. Which cannot exist, because if it did, that attribute would make it interesting. Similarly, these briefly mentioned places are good to read about, because they are so uninteresting.

TQ2167 has some agreeably interesting Art Deco/moderne houses in Meadow Hill and Barnfield. The A3 thunders along their back garden boundaries, which may be why they’re less celebrated than some of their Metroland cousins.

As a solo traveller I doubt you'll want company. But if you had wanted company I could have offered myself to you in the southern parts of the London Borough of Croydon. Look forward to reading about the red square there, and perhaps the blue ones as well.

TQ2167 includes a chunk of New Malden, which is believed to house the largest community of Koreans in Europe - around 25,000 people. However, many of them live in neighbouring squares so this is only partially interesting.

This post only brings home just how much real farm land there’s in the Greater London area.

Having read the history of Colham Green in the link and having had a boyfriend who lived there - I'd say it's not worth going back for a deeper look!
|
|
I enjoyed this post.

When the iconic shape of Greater London was changed by the deletion of that tiny little pointed salient extending towards Potters Bar in exchange for some empty turf to make the map line up with the M25 in Essex.

As someone who's last name is Crosby, I now have a reason to visit Chelsfield.

The Rising Sun in that part of Elmer End used to one of the better places in the area for a pub lunch. Sadly I think it’s long been closed.
|
|
It looks like you missed the best bit of the Upper Elmers End square - the grounds of Belthem Hospital. You are allowed to walk your dog around them - and they are vast . You’d think you were in the deepest country side not Elmers End!

The view of the outside of The Orchard in TQ3667 looks awful to the extent that I might wish to peep inside to see if it is just as awful inside. Although perhaps even if it said Public Toilet over the door I might hesitate to enter. To me it is really the dregs of architecture, a very sad sight.

I was trying to work out what your two green squares out west were, and reckon I may have grazed one of them (TQ0675) last week. It probably is possible to get there without taking an international flight, but would require either spending a lot of money on a refundable ticket, or starting a new job...
|
|
I’m eagerly awaiting the TQ4063 Nash grid square post.
|
|
Would it be possible to get an "empty" version of the map so I can also start this project?
|
|
The London Loop ticks off about 140 1km×1km grid squares within Greater London, about 10% of the total (and the Capital Ring ticks off another 8%).
|
|
Commenting to the same effect as Tamas - if you're inclined to give out a blank version of the map it would be mightily appreciated.
