London Progress

I am excited to say that we are making very good progress in completing the data collection for the Greater London data! When I talk about the London data, I am referring to all roads, drainage, rail and land use inside the M25.

We have so far collected all land use data within the boundaries of the M25. The land use layers consist of data like agricultural land, parklands, educational land, sports fields, etc. This consists of polygon data and will provide the important backdrop to which the other data will be displayed against. Please note that this land use data is not yet imported into the Peoples Map, but will be done by the end of this year. You can see an image of the data created below:

We are making very good progress with the completing the road dataset, at a scale of 1:10,000 for the entire Greater London area. To date we have captured all road data in a grid area stretching from Stratford in the North East to Hampton Court in the South West, apart from a small block in central London. This central London block is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. All Primary roads are collected for the rest of London, but we are now embarking on capturing the remainder of the minor roads in the outer London areas. The image below shows the London data set to date, with the dark grey areas illustrating the completed unclassified roads.

Thank you to all who have contributed so far with filling the gaps in London!! I am really looking forward to seeing this dataset complete in the near future!
