Grater London South West

Posted by Ghostwalking on 20 October 2024 in English.

a small project of mine over the last few years (in my spare time, when I’m not doing the job I get paid to do) is to map every building in the Kingston and new Malden area of SW London.

This is slow progress although I have now nearly finished all but a small part of Old Malden and an area of North Kingston. Although slow, the map does now look aesthetically significantly better than it did two years ago. although I am aware it could be improved further by putting house numbers on each building, I do have to keep my mental health in check here.

The Previously patchy; Berrylands, Norbiton, and Surbiton have now all been finished with finishing Old Malden being my next project and then Coombe and Ham Kingston Vale, being my next major projects

I have always found it frustrating that people will often do one or two houses on the road and then get either bored (or do their own house).

These diary entries are more to help me keep track of what iv done to date as well as give a minor update to the larger community on the slow updates.

Location: Norbiton, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Greater London, England, KT1 3NJ, United Kingdom

Hi there, I am local to that area myself, and was also surprised to see how many houses are either still completely missing or where rows of townhouses have been imported as a single block of homes.

Whilst I am focusing on New Malden at the moment, it’s great to hear from someone else with largely similar goals.

The rows of townhouses may have been me when I first started and wasn’t overly sure what I was doing, and may have been mass filling out space. (It was more accurate than nothing being there)

Glad to know im not compleatly allown in this some what delulu mission
