Three Visitors Inspecting A Lith

I took this picture of the lith outside of Russell Square station.

I also talked to one of the staff inside, who liked the lith, but they said, they still got people asking them for directions.

Most stations now seem to have these Legible London liths outside. I now never carry a map, or use a map on my phone, as I walk around London, as the liths and the maps on bus stops and stations, will get me where I want to go.

  1. Can you post a note on derivation of “lith” some time. Loads of searches didn’t come up with anything definite.

  2. This is from Wikipedia.

    There are approximately 1200 Legible London signs – known officially as Monoliths, Midiliths, Miniliths and Fingerposts – installed across London, and the system is continuing to expand. It is currently believed to be the world’s largest pedestrian wayfinding project.

    So I just shortened all of them to liths.
