...that not only lasts to when the Roman Empire leaves, but also lasts into the future of London with Westminster and other cities that eventually fold into greater London, sticking with this strict grid system. Perhaps farmland, properties and ranches are organized along this strict grid plan.

How will major boulevards be handled?

Will the city be more 'imperial' with huge palaces and churches at the ends of long, un-ending streets?

Will exceptions be made in the future to the grid or diagonal streets introduced during the renaissance?

How will the riverfront be handled?

Where does the grid end and suburbs begin?

Will there be greater pressure to be like New York and build skyscrapers earlier on?

Will London get something like central park?

Will London be better off or worse off or roughly the same?

Will Jack The Ripper get away with his crimes with such a lack of windy, bendy streets? :p

Grid size is going to matter, the urban grid will likely be sub-divided more but not with any major thoroughfares, plenty of walking paths though.

Alright, time for some rough renders.
