#2While Trafalgar is known as the official centre of London, you’d have trouble convincing anyone that Vauxhall is more central than Spitalfields.
Re: Where is London's most central sheep?
#3When my wife and I lived in Bristol we developed a metric designed to measure how enjoyable a city was to live in that we called "time to sheep".
Basically it's a measure of how long you have to travel from the center of the city before you're in the English countryside surrounded by sheep and the best cities have a low (but not too low) "time to sheep" metric. It helped explain one of the reasons we loved living in Bristol so much when we had such a hard time living in London.
Could also have been that Bristol is just a crazy beautiful city to live in, but where's the fun in that, right?

Presumably this could be quantified through a call to something like the Google maps api for a specific lat/long starting point, for driving, walking or biking time in minutes, as an SLP (sheep latency protocol)

there's also a measure of the minimum appropriate "time to sheep" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_meas...

#6Isn’t there a recurring publicity stunt with sheep on Savile Row? =)

#8Looking at the satellite view of some grassy rooftops in the city of London (the square mile), it seems to me that a sufficiently motivated wealthy person could keep several sheep in a more central location. Some of those roofs look like they have more habitat space than the most central sheep lives in.

My metric for when you've left the city is "have I passed a field of potatoes"

As a non British person I would think the center of the city would be some point equidistant centrally between the boundaries of the original roman city wall, in the square mile, but the actual center of the city seems to have migrated since then.
