What the numbers say

London accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on September 28, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.

That places London 1 of 13 among Europe, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.

The most recent entries are British Optical Association Museum, Guildhall, Mileage Central Point of London Plaque. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.
