A Trap Street is a small imaginary road that cartographers sometimes add to their maps (usually in an out-of-the-way place) to catch people who copy the map without giving credit. In Trap Street, participants are invited to add stories or landmarks of their own to a gradually-accreting map of London: one true addition each, and one false.

See if you can tell the lies from the truths, and set your own traps to catch other players out.
