However, one notable absence in many of my random search endeavors is how a chunk of public space becomes inaccessible to the viewer. I thought at first that this was some kind of accident, i.e The google video footage got corrupted, or the photographer switched off his camera momentarily as they passed a specific area. But, upon further research it appears to me like many of these omissions are entirely deliberate. In fact so much so, I have reached the conclusion that certain parties may not want their building to be shown on Google maps, and have exerted their financial muscle with Google to make sure that this happened. Hence, I've decided to document all of the areas where I notice this "aberration" happen and ask you the reader to share any you find, so we can create a global list of areas around the world "not shown" on Google maps for whatever reason (that can be investigated later). So here goes, here are the first ones I've come up with:
London:
- Woodside Park Tube Station on the Northern Line (and surrounding areas) -Can't even get as far as Holden Ave, which is a distance from the Station. Only notable landmarks in the forbidden area are a Jewish Synagogue, a Nursery and a School.
