[edit] "Centre" of Zone 1

An anonymous IP editor is insistent on pointing out that the theoretical centre of Z1 is not the same as the geographical centre. This not only appears utterly non-notable to me, but I am not aware of any great evidence that this is considered to be an "issue" by anyone else. Since Zone boundaries have fluctuated in the past, with some stations switching from one to the other, geographical considerations are clearly only part of the process.

I'm merely pointing out that the "centre" of the zonal system is a valid point for the centre of London. It is notable that this differs, often by quite a distance, from WC2, Charing Cross, Westminster, Oxford Street, Greenwich, and other reported locations for the centre of the city. It doesn't matter if it's an "issue" or not. People obviously consider it of academic interest, as seen by pages such as Central London (there is a whole section devoted to various definitions), and pages such as Centre points of the United Kingdom . —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.19.118 (talk) 16:32, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
