Geodetic CRS: London Survey Grid 2025
Data source: EPSG
Information source: Transport for London, Topographic surveys and mapping Standard S1026, issue A4, May 2025.
Revision date: 2025-10-28
Scope: Engineering survey and topographic mapping for transport applications.
Remarks: Replaces the London Survey Grid (LSG), which was formerly also known as the LU Grid, the LUL Grid or the Crossrail Grid. The LSG2025 is a re-baselined definition of LSG which recognises the CORS network revision from OSNet v2001 to OSNet v2009 made in 2016 but maintains the original map projection and transformation parameter values. Due to the differences in coordinate values derived from the original Xrail84 control network, through OSNet v2001 or through OSNet v2009, horizontal positions of old data may differ from LSG2025 by up to 12mm in Eastings and 2mm in Northings. Vertically, LSG2025 maintains LSG heights (derived by applying the OSGM02 geoid model to OSNet v2001 ellipsoidal coordinates) through use of the LGGM2025 geoid model applied to ETRS89-GBR [OSNet v2009].
Area of use: United Kingdom (UK) - Greater London and surrounding area.
