What the numbers say

London accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on August 2, 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 12 among Europe, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.

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

Monuments account for 7 of the 24: Viscount Wolseley, George III, Earl Roberts, Douglas Haig, Lombard Street Ventilation Shaft Pillar, Admiral Sir John Franklin and Bankers Clearing House. Memorial accounts for 1 of the 24: United Kingdom. Alphabetically the register runs from Admiral Sir John Franklin to Viscount Wolseley.

That is 4 place types across 24 listings for London. Attractions are the largest group at 8, memorial the smallest at 1 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is. One label appears exactly once — memorial (United Kingdom).

The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 21 distinct localities, and they cluster: Whitehall holds 4 (Household Cavalry Museum and Viscount Wolseley among them), while 20 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where London keeps its notable ground.
