Sorry, don't know about Great Britain, but in some countries it's the main post office and in some countries it's the City Hall.

Answer 2

I was born in London but I am living in Ireland a long time now. From what I can remember now I may be wrong about this cos it is going back quite a while since I was there but I think the focus point was to Piccadilly Circus. Yes London is a very big place. I used to live in the borough of Brent.

Answer 9

Most distances to towns and cities in the U.K. are measured to the centre - in the case of London, that is the square mile, known simply as 'The City'.

Answer 10

The city limits from the direction that you are coming from....and not the wal-mart in middle of town....good luck.

Answer 11

All road signs advertising distance to a town or city are giving you the distance to the town/city centre.

Answer 12

Charing Cross.
