The one cited was Bartlett Place - actually Broadway Walk.
#TRAP STREET DOCTOR WHO TV#
Bartlett PlaceĪ BBC TV show called Map Man, broadcast in 2005, claimed the London A-Z contains about 100 trap streets. This one’s been cleared up from Google Maps now and we can’t find anyone who took a screengrab. We reckon someone at TeleAtlas Directory lived in Finchley, because there was (according to various sources around the internet) another trap street at the end of Arcadia Avenue in N3. Google Maps is based on the TeleAtlas Directory, which apparently slipped in this little Easter Egg to mark its copyright. Gizmodo has evidence of Google Maps showing Moat Lane taking a right angle north-east from the end of Clandon Gardens as recently as 2012 in reality there’s no such place. This fictitious street in Finchley is probably the most well known. Moat Lane There’s a crossing over the North Circular at the end of Clandon Gardens, but no Moat Lane. (Quantum shades are not.)Ī trap street is a fake street that a cartographer inserts into a map, or a street wrongly named, to expose anyone copying the work.
If you watched Doctor Who over the weekend and thought the conversation about trap streets was a wonderful bit of invention from writer Sarah Dollard, think again.
