London

England, United Kingdom

London's street pattern is one of the most organic in the supported set — Roman roads, medieval lanes, Georgian squares and Victorian terraces all overlaid on top of each other. That irregularity is actually a feature for alignment hunting: with so many different bearings, almost every week of the year is an alignment week somewhere in the city.
