      Surely the centre keeps moving as new developments on the edge spring up?

        No, I'm not sure that I'm sure. But I am sure that it's NOT Marble Arch.

        I think Charing Cross is where they measure the distance other places are from London, and it would be a pain in the arse to have to re-calculate distances everytime the geographic centre of London moved.

          It's ******* tulip mate. I work in Canary Wharf and loath the place. Full of odious dickheads talking about how much money they have (I'm sure a few from here would love the place).

                On old maps and mile stones the distance is always to and from Marble Arch

                  I think the people on the snowboarding forum would be really interested in that!

                      OK, now I have Googled it. They must be VERY old maps - Pre 1290 - if the Beeb are to be believed.
