OpenStreetMap
Went for a walk with my trusty Garmin GPS 60, to add more street names and detials on the western end of Canning Town. Seeing as there is a planned mapping session for Canning Town, and seeing that during the week I am currently working in Reading (so can't get back from work in time for it unfortunately), I thought it might be helpful for people if I added a bit more detail to make their task hopefully a bit easier.
Still loads to do, and there are lots of small alleyways that need mapping, as well as some of the larger tower blocks and other residential blocks, but any little helps.
Some of the roads in Canning Town that have been traced on by people are definitely wrong, but I don't want to mess things up by modifying other people's work. Additionally, some roads are no longer as long as they used to be due to recent building work (Victoria Dock Road, Huntingdon Street). I've walked around Huntingdon Street, so that's now the right length, but not yet had chance to amend Victoria Dock Road.

Hi,
Hope you don't mind that there is a mapping party due to be held in Canning Town a week on Wednesday? osm.wiki/index.php/London/Summer_2008_Mapping_Party_Marathon
Do you know any pubs in the area?

No, not at all, the more the merrier :-) I'll try and get as much done to make the mapping party's task easier, or at least enable them to concentrate on more details.
In terms of pubs in Canning Town, I don't actually know, because I avoid them. This area can at times feel a bit like bandit country, which is why I am trying to get more done for you before the mapping party to make it safer for people too.
I have to get some of the streetnames up by Canning Town station this week, so I'll see what pubs are there, and see what the vibe is like.
