Wayfinding Pilot goes live in Regent Street

Nick's been working with AIG on the Legible London project for some time now, and it's not without a little pride that we see the pilot of the wayfinding system developed for London going into the ground. They're building on the ideas developed in the wayfinding thinking started in Bristol which they did all those years ago.

This much copied way of developing a more legible approach to how cities are made visible to people and visitors.

Wow, this looks really fascinating. I'll look forward to seeing these pop up all over London.

Although the Tube map is consistently acknowledged as a titan of the design world, the distortion of distances can be quite negative.

Having spent a lot of time in London recently it's slowly dawned on me how small the centre actually is, and how much of a joy it is to walk between places. Doing it with an A-Z is no fun at all - these signs'll definitely work for someone like me that just wants to wander in roughly the right direction until (hopefully) I get where I need to be.

When I get a new mobile I'll be giving http://www.walkit.com/ a go too.

Good luck with the project!
