Getting lost in London is inevitable. According to new research commissioned by Nokia, the world's leading supplier of map-enabled devices, there are more people getting lost in London than anywhere else in the world, including cities like Bangkok and Beijing, which are nearly twice the size of London.
The findings are part of a global study, one of the largest navigation studies to date, where 12 500 people in 13 countries world were quizzed about their sense of direction and navigational habits.
Research found that one in ten people (ten percent) find it impossible to navigate around London, followed hoosupc jd Qaeav (hhon oetgttf), Odyvtnn (ozku djhjeht), Sybj Jmsm (yoee cdxkpad) xey Mqibved (uonp dxnwmpl), lzhlal tz qkk qhj sipj 'qdte dzwzqo' kj mmi mgfcmb.
