    <p>Not a member of the London OSM community, but...</p>
    <p>Also, do you think that there might also be an effect from
      "visiting" OSM contributors to an area? <br>
    </p>
    <p>I used to regularly walk to/from occasional meetings with
      companies in London and map items on the way -- so  I'm guessing
      (!) that there might be a number of OSM users passing through the
      City of London (more than say "Greater London") -- each adding
      their favourite items -- but maybe only infrequently, and without
      wanting to "disturb" items that they're less familiar with / less
      concerned about. Plus, it's much easier to add items, than it is
      to remove/modify/update them, especially in a "cluttered" area.</p>
    Cheers,<br>

            of Leicester. Volunteered geographic information and OSM
            have been one of my research interests for a few years now.
            I have also done some very minor contributions to OSM
            myself, but never in London and I am not very familiar with

            recently looking at some aspects data production and quality
            of OSM in London, and I was wondering whether any of you
            might have some time to help me out in interpreting some of

            like there are areas of London with consistently high
            density but low average number of edits per features. I was
            wondering whether this might be the result of local projects
