I've been doing lots of photo tracing with the applet in the area
bounded by Park lane, Oxford Street, Regent's street and Picadilly.

Because of shadows and trees, I'm not sure everything I've marked is
really a road, or if I've got every road, so we'd need to walk the
streets to double check everything and get the road names. We could
possibly compare to an old map and then only walk to places that don't
seem to match up.
