Oh, I don't know.
I did actually think the bit about it being measured to Charring Cross was true, but thinking about it that's just something my Dad told me once that I never checked out.

Given that this is the man who took me womble spotting, I probably shouldn't trust him.

Was the Womble in his trousers?
Although a quick Google reveals he was probably right about Charring cross.

You are right.
