a small project of mine over the last few years (in my spare time, when I’m not doing the job I get paid to do) is to map every building in the Kingston and new Malden area of SW London.

This is slow progress although I have now nearly finished all but a small part of Old Malden and an area of North Kingston. Although slow, the map does now look aesthetically significantly better than it did two years ago. although I am aware it could be improved further by putting house numbers on each building, I do have to keep my mental health in check here.

The Previously patchy; Berrylands, Norbiton, and Surbiton have now all been finished with finishing Old Malden being my next project and then Coombe and Ham Kingston Vale, being my next major projects

I have always found it frustrating that people will often do one or two houses on the road and then get either bored (or do their own house).

These diary entries are more to help me keep track of what iv done to date as well as give a minor update to the larger community on the slow updates.

Over the last few months, I’ve been filling out the houses and buildings in southwest London because I’m bored and have taken a strange fixation on improving the map in this way.

I have noted a few things over the last few months, particularly how the addresses to flats and rows of townhouses are managed. when marking out an area for a building of flats it only lets me put one address in, when flats typically have multiple addresses attached to the same physical building.

Not a major drawback at the moment but this is the main reason im not filling addresses in as there are typicaly more than one address attached to each building. Im not a coder here but this is my mild wednesday musing put on paper.
