If anyone wants to make a similar map in their own city or with a different street name, you can use Overpass Turbo to query OpenStreetMap data for this. Just comparing the maps visually, they seem to match. [1]
[out:json][timeout:25];
{{geocodeArea:London}}->.searchArea;
nwr["name"="High Street"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

- zaik 2y agoIs it also possible to count the distinct streets? "out count" instead of "out geom" gives a much higher number than 57.
- wcedmisten 2y agoI'm not sure. It's because the streets are made of multiple segments ("ways" in OSM terms), which are being counted separately. I think the query would need to join connected segments to get a true number of streets.
