 +##Finding our way around the Square Mile
 +
 +[[https://connections.commons.london/finding-our-way/|Blog post October 2023]]\\ 
 +One of the challenges for the [[https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/about-us/plans-policies/destination-city|Destination City programme]], aimed at attracting more visitors to the Square Mile, is helping people find their way around once they arrive.
 +
 +That was particularly true during the three weeks of Bartholomew Fair in September, with 250 events scattered across the City. While there was an official map with the programme, it was produced against a tight deadline and lacked detail.
 +
 +There’s now a commitment in the next phase of Destination City to improve wayfinding through street signs and other means. I hope there will be a chance to discuss that [[https://connections.commons.london/destination-city-meeting/|at the public meeting]] being held on November 7.
 +
 +//The blog post goes on to reference a map and information pages that I developed for Bartholomew Fair 2023. Original idea below. [[https://connections.commons.london/finding-our-way|Blog post here]]

 This is an experiment into how it might be possible to provide additional maps and information that will help visitors find their way to the Fair, and also engage with the City further during their visit. It’s just a demo to spark ideas on what might be done in 2024. This is an experiment into how it might be possible to provide additional maps and information that will help visitors find their way to the Fair, and also engage with the City further during their visit.
