Although there are only 70 cases listed at present, we are trying to slowly add some of the murders dating back to the 19th Century that featured on the original map.
If you are a registered user you will see the following options below the map.
If you click on a location a red google pin marker will appear, and the GPS location will be automatically added. Alternatively you can work out the address on Google Maps and then paste the latitude and longitude (fore example: 51.423173, -0.432173).
Then give it a title (e.g. ‘Lord Lucan and the murder of Sandra Rivett’) and a description, confirm you are human by ticking the box and then click the ‘add marker’ button.
Please make sure you are adding a real London murder case (dating before the year 2000 AD) which is not already on the map.
The map markers have to be approved before they appear on the map to prevent anyone spamming cases or make up a murder.
We hope that opening up this particular map to user-generated markers will speed up the process of filling out the map and make it more useful and informative.
The map itself, plus the map markers and short description, are open to view for everyone. However some case reports (accessed via a link on the map marker bubble) are only available to subscribers.
We reserve the right to edit and change the text relating to any markers added by users.

Underworld accountant and diamond merchant Saul Nahome was shot dead outside his home in Finchley, north London, on 27 November 1998.
Known as Solly, 48 year-old Nahome specialised in money laundering and was known as a ‘financial adviser’ to the feared Adams Family.
His murder came eight months after the disappearance of another Adams associate, Gilbert Wynter, 37. Legend has it that Wynter is buried in concrete under the Millennium Dome.
At the time the leader of the Adams Family, Terry Adams, was under police surveillance.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police officially linked the two cases and in May 2011 launched a new “last ditch” effort to solve them.
Detective Chief Inspector David Manning from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command said: “Over time, allegiances change. I would appeal to anyone with information, despite the time lapse and however insignificant they think it might be, to contact us.
“We are now convinced that the two cases are linked. Mr Nahome and Mr Wynter both associated with the same people and they were also well known to each other having been business associates at various times.”
Saul Solomon Nahome
Mr Nahome, a Hatton Garden jeweller said to be involved in laundering the proceeds of the 1983 Brinks-Mat robbery, was assassinated as he arrived at his home in Arden Road, Finchley, at around 4.40pm.
As he got out of his car he was approached by a male wearing a balaclava and was shot in the back several times as he tried to run away.
The gunman then fired four times into his head before walking to the top of Arden Road and riding off on J-reg 125cc black motorcycle with a yellow or orange stripe down the side. The bike has never been recovered.
It is thought the suspect, a black or dark-skinned Mediterranean male, was seen an hour earlier standing by a pillar box in Arden Road.
At the time detectives described it as an “execution-style killing” because the gunman appeared to show no signs of stress or emotion as he calmly walked away from the scene.
Gilbert Wynter, a known enforcer for the ‘A-Team’, had in 1994 been acquitted of the murder of Claude Moseley, a former British high jump champion.
He was last seen when he left his family home off St Anne’s Road, Tottenham, at 8am on 1 March 1998.
Mr Wynter spoke to his girlfriend by telephone later that day but did not use his mobile phone again or access his bank account again. He was reported missing eight days later.
The car he left in, a white Nissan Micra registration number L753 XJU, was found in Spring Gardens, Woodford, on 2 June 1998.
Mr Wynter was described as black, 5ft 11ins to 6ft tall, of muscular build with short cropped hair. When he left his family’s home, he was wearing a ‘Fruit of the Loom’ grey tracksuit top and bottoms, a black puffa quilted jacket with fluorescent stripes and grey Reebok trainers.
DCI Manning said: “The cases have never been closed despite the lack of new information. Having reviewed both investigations and with advances in DNA techniques, we decided to launch a last-ditch effort to bring them to a successful conclusion.”

Political dissident Gerard Hoarau, 34, was shot dead on his doorstep in Edgware on 29 November 1985.
He had just left his home on Greencourt Avenue when a gunman fired a Sterling sub-machine from the other side of the road at around 10.15am.
At the time of his death he was president of the Seychellois National Movement, an exiled group opposed to the regime of France-Albert Rene, who came to power following a coup on 5 July 1977.
No-one was charged the murder as a result of the police investigation, though three people were convicted of perverting the course of justice in 1986.
A review of the investigation began in 2016 and on 2 August 2018 a 77 year-old man was arrested in Antrim, Northern Ireland, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder before being released under investigation.
This man, a former private detective named as Ian Withers, told the BBC he had been left in “legal limbo”. He denied any knowledge of the murder.
On 9 August 2018 a man in his 80s was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on arrival at Gatwick Airport before being released on police bail.
In November 2021 the Gerard Hoarau Foundation was launched to mark the 36th anniversary of the assassination and pay tribute to his attempts to bring democracy to Seychelles.
