Imagine you lived in a remote village in Himachal Pradesh. You may have heard of the M25, the giant motorway that encircles London, but you’ve never seen it, certainly never driven on it, and most likely never would.
Until know.
A new, online, virtual M25 has now been made available so that anyone, wherever you are in the world, can experience the M25.
“You literally just access the website and within seconds, you are placed in a recreation of a car driving round the M25,” explained Dr Roger Hardstool, its creator
“You can then experience the M25 as if you were actually driving on it. You see everything a driver would. Turn the volume up and you can hear everything, including a live feed of Magic Radio.
“You can spend as long as you like enjoying the sights and sounds of driving on the M25. The congestion by Heathrow, the Services at Clacket Lane, the iconic South Mimms interchange onto the A1. It’s as if you’re really there.”
The online, virtual M25 encompasses the entire M25, in both directions, so people can experience both the Dartford Tunnel and the Dartford Bridge.
“Visiting the M25 and driving on it? It’s still, I guess, the best way to experience the M25,” admitted Dr Hardstool.
“But there are millions, perhaps billions of people across the globe who will never get that opportunity, so the online M25 is a brilliant alternative for them.
“If you’re in war-torn Sudan, if you’re an Inuit seal-hunter, if you’re on the international space station, you can simply log on to the online, virtual M25 and it’s like you’re right there, driving through Bedfordshire in a light drizzle.”
Dr Hardstool hopes to follow up his M25 recreation with an online, virtual Fenchurch Street-to-Southend railway line to let people from around the world experience what commuting into London is really like.
