Rayners Lane Where the Maps Are Made Up

Rayners Lane is a neighborhood in Harrow, Greater London, situated west of Harrow-on-the-Hill centered on the High Streets of Imperial Drive and Alexandra Avenue. The district takes its name from the old winding lane, which confuses modern mapping algorithms, so they create multiple present-day iterations. The real Rayners Lane starts in Pinner at Marsh Road, runs south until it crosses the railway line, where it hooks sharply east and runs south to Rayners Lane. At that eastern turn, Alexandra Avenue begins, carrying the main traffic south past the southern segment of Rayners Lane. If you leave a pub a little pissed and a constable ask if you know where you are, and you don't, just say Rayners Lane. Rayners Lane Station, set directly on the bridge, functions as the district's transport hinge, linking both the Piccadilly and Metropolitan lines for a straightforward ride into central London. - AsNotedIn
