How to start the search
Choose one of the ten areas below so RouteMate prefills a useful local start, then confirm the precise location and select Main sights. A generic London start is still too broad for a dependable route handoff.
Current coverage limits
This guide covers ten bounded areas, not all of London. Each route can include only the sights that fit its confirmed start, selected edits and maximum distance; other neighbourhoods remain outside reviewed coverage.
How RouteMate uses the guide
Confirm a start, choose Main sights and set the full-route distance as a maximum. RouteMate proposes a route from the available verified sights, then shows the sights actually verified against the final line.
