A new version of Central London for 2019. This version has hollow buildings to make it easier to modify and enhance. It has flowers and tufts on any areas of grass, and signposts marking the location of things mentioned on Wikipedia.

It uses data from Open Streetmap, DEFRA LIDAR and Wikidedia.

We've used "podzol" blocks to simulate the darkened soil you find where wood has rotted away.

This map was generated using my tool which combines DEFRA LIDAR data with open street map. It might make a good basis for a project?

Use freely. Have fun!
