How much of London have you been to?
You may be a Londoner, but how much of London have you actually been to?Here's a chance to find out, and to compare your score with others.
I've compiled a list of 100 places in London, and all you have to do is count up how many of them you've actually visited.
By 'visited' I mean mean properly been to. Being on a train or in a station doesn't count. Driving through in a car doesn't count. Riding through on a bus doesn't count.
You don't have to have been there for long. You don't have to have explored the local park, bought a coffee, been shopping or met up with friends. But ideally you should have actually walked around for a bit, even if only for a few minutes, in the approximate location I've listed.
As an example, when I say 'Colindale' I don't mean the area immediately outside the station, I mean Colindale in general. If you've ever been to the RAF Museum or the Asda on the Edgware Road, that counts. When I say Croydon I don't mean the entire borough of Croydon, I mean the town in general. When I say Finchley, yes, that includes North Finchley, West Finchley and East Finchley, but not Finchley Road. When I say London Bridge I don't just mean the station concourse, I mean the bridge and thereabouts. Feel free to be approximate, but not excessively so.
So, tick them off and count them up.
n.b. The places are listed approximately geographically, and I've made a map showing all 100 locations if you're not sure where any of them are.

A quick word about my list. I started out by picking three places in every London borough. I tried to include at least one big obvious place, one fairly big place and one slightly smaller place. I tried not to pick anywhere too obscure. I was also aiming for a good spread across the whole of London, so next I tweaked my list by dropping and adding a few locations to space things out. If you look on my map, you'll be able to see how spread out they are.
My list is also very subjective. I didn't pick Ilford but I did pick Barking. I could have picked Vauxhall but instead I picked Pimlico. You'd probably have picked different places. Sorry, but my list is the list you've got.
If you have any queries about the rules, you can ask them here: Queries about the rules
Please don't ask really specific things like "I think I went to Ruislip once, does the Lido count?" or "Where precisely would you say Cricklewood starts being Kilburn?" You've got 100 decisions to make, so you be the judge of whether you've been to each place or not, because life's too short.
Some of the places are going to be really easy to tick off. I suspect most people who live in London will have been to Camden, Mayfair, Stratford and London Bridge. Other places will be rather less familiar, especially if they're on the opposite side of the capital, and a few places you're unlikely ever to have been to unless you have friends or family there. You'll have to be well travelled to get a score in the 80s or 90s.
There's no rush, so take your time, but count up all your ticks and tell us your score out of 100.
If you live in London, or have ever lived in London, tell us your score in this first comments box: Londoners' scores
If you live outside London, or even outside the UK, tell us your score in this second comments box: non-Londoners's scores
If you have any general comments about how well travelled everyone seems to be, tell us in the comments box at the end of the post.
And yes, I scored 100. But how did you do?
