At this point, at 51.463° north latitude, the 7th meridian (the 7th degree of longitude) crosses the RS1 cycle expressway. There is a marking here in the form of a strip of cobblestones - whether this is intentional or (an extremely unlikely but fortunate) coincidence remains to be determined. I have already suggested the erection of a "meridian monument" (as there is in other cities).
