Google Goes To The Theatre

Another Google Maps failure here, just east of Aldgate/Tower Hill/Tower Gateway:


That isn't the Garrick Theatre, which is between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square, that's where there was a theatre of the same name stood until it was demolished in 1891.

Yes, the map is showing a building that hasn't existed for nearly 120 years. Score another one for Team Internet!

Google Moves The Gherkin

Not sure if that's anything like "tickling the pickle", but take a look at the map here.

A little off, perhaps? Yes, just a bit...


It looks like someone's changed the address of SwissRe...



... and that's broken the map generation.


One might think a 600ft glass-and-steel tower would be hard to misplace, but Google seem have managed it...
