North London - Alexandra Palace

Post by ElPav »

Here are a few zone suggestions for North London, around Alexandra Palace (Aly Paly).

There are already some zones around East Finchley and Muswell Hill, and it would be nice to connect the nearby green spaces all together and also to connect them to Finsbury Park.

The coordinates are taken from google, let me know if you would prefer other format.

Cheers

I added a bunch an hour ago before I saw this, not sure If I hit a few of the already but will look into it. For future ref, a quicker method to suggest for both you and us is this:

1. Start Google Maps and switch to satellite layer.
2. Right click the exact spot where the zone should be centered and choose "What's here?".
3. At the bottom of the screen a label with text and absolute coordinates appear, click the coordinates.
4. Map now makes a search with these coordinates and the nice thing is the search is now embedded in the page web address (URL). Copy the URL and paste into your forum post.

Suggestions look good, very easy to work from over coordinates, so thank you!

I've added some of your suggestion pretty much as is, some have been quite altered because I want to make room for more zones in the area. Hopefully they're still good though.

Not all of them are coming right now however, some will be enabled at a later date.

Thanks a lot, I wasn't sure about the spacing myself, it can be sliced in many ways.
