Colouring London

Thanks to Steve Brace and Will Fry for the tipoff to this website.


I was due to be in London today at a GA committee meeting, but sadly had to wait in for the emergency plumber and drains person, so I'm doing a spot of colouring the city instead at Colouring London.
It's a map experiment, and another one created by the awesome folks at UCL CASA.

Colouring London is an open data platform being built and tested at University College London, and will launch formally in May 2019. It is designed to collect, collate, show and share statistical information about London's buildings, and become the first port of call for information on the city's fabric.
Colouring London is also a citizen science project
collecting data for scientific use, a free educational resource schools, and an initiative that celebrates London and our collective knowledge about it, and promotes sustainability and diversity within the city.
Looks like someone has already coloured in an important geographical landmark: the building in the centre of the image below.
