I think it’s based on the fact that distances used to be measured from London Bridge when London was just the City of London, but now with the additional 32 London boroughs too since 1 April 1965, all distances are measured from the King Charles I statue, but that’s not to say that it’s the geographical centre of London (just as London Bridge wasn’t the geographical centre of London when it was just the City of London). They are not the same thing.

I enjoyed this. One small point: as you’re definitely, quintessentially you might say, English, you might choose to make the title “Centre”… As a born Londoner welcome to the greatest city in the world and I hope you enjoy uni.

Thank you!! It was a deliberate choice to spelt it ‘Center’ so it isn’t ‘wrong’ for the wider audience, Thank you for your comment 😄

@@JoeDanHirst Well, I have to disagree with your choice. It's only spelled 'centre' in North America. There is often a confusion among Americans when they come across non-American spellings because they don't often have a chance to see them. Partly, this is because they don't have the contact and partly because people bend over backwards to accommodate them, which is what you have done. Do think it might be a bit patronising that you an English guy, on an English channel talking about something as British as London deliberately choose the N. American spelling just so you don't confuse Americans. Don't you think they could cope? Would it not have been an opportunity to teach them something about Britain? Does the 'wider audience' even want you to change the spelling and make a film about Britain less British? And if you're going to imply that the wider audience watching across the world only understands American English do you adopt American vocabulary all the way through? Why not put on an American accent? It's your channel and you can do what you want but I don't agree with your thinking.

I was under the impression the 'Centre' spelling was only in the UK but from your explanation perhaps I was wrong.

@@JoeDanHirst before I retired (your channel attracts all ages Joe…) I worked for a large international law firm. This was a battle we had to fight all the time when creating international publications. I did some research. In fact the whole Commonwealth uses British English: Canada, Australia, NZ, Singapore, India etc.; plus de facto Commonwealth countries like Rep. of Ireland. Also as English is the de facto admin language of the EU, whatever the French may think, and it also uses British English. It is only the US and former US possessions such as the Philippines that use US English. So there are more users of “centre” both as native speakers and ESL speakers than there are of “center”. Sorry to go on but the issue always interested me.

An absolute fantastic thought to investigate, but I think the more interesting thing to explore is the centre of mainland Britain, where is it exactly? Living in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I kind of want to think that’s where it is! In February I went tour Australia and visited the actual centre of Australia where there is a ‘official landmark’, which funnily enough is about three hours drive from Uluru on the way to Alice Springs. So, there’s your next challenge!

Did you not look down behind the Statue there is a Large Plaque on the floor that says this is the site of the Original Charing Cross. All measurements to London come from here. So that is the centre of London if all measurements come from here.
