How is mileage measured with regards to cities and country villages etc?
When you are driving, Birmingham is 24 miles away, London 122 etc.
At what point is zero or the point it is measured from? Birmingham is a pretty big place! Just one of those thoughts that crossed my mind today when stuck in a tail back.
Answers:
Each City, Town,Village and Hamlet has a central point (which may not be in the middle). This is the reference point.
I know all measurements out of london are from Kings Cross. So I guess every city has a pin point.
from the town's administration centre,, ie, Glasgow will be measured from the City Chambers builing to the equivalent spot in what ever town you are measuring from,,
Wrong Steph, its Charing Cross, ask a cabbie. Anyway asker, put your little old feet up and have a drink, and don,t let it worry you.
Sorry but all measurements in London are taken from Charing Cross.
The most important place (like city hall, for example) usually is the point zero!
When It's a road. like an Highway. the most known ity will have the point zero!
Example:
Portugal Capital is Lisbon. the main Highway is "A1" and it connects Lisbon to Oporto. and the milestone "0" is where the highway begins in Lisbon!
