Looking at that mile post I'd say London is 2.7 miles away..........

No, I think it's 2-7 miles. Somewhere between the two, probably about 4.

@Dogtrousers How is it going working through your mile post list?

I've done my bit by posting a map. I'll leave the hard yards to others.

I've looked at the photo again and haven't the foggiest where it is.

Mistly in Essex.

If you head in opposite direction, the next town is 7 miles.

Having looked at the Milepost Society's website, as mentioned by @Dogtrousers , their map on Google Earth gives a reference number for each milepost. The reference number includes the marked distance to the principal destination. There's quite a few mileposts on the roads radiating out of London but not many with 27 in the reference. Clicking the reference number gives a link to a Geograph photo. I started in the North West and went all the way round anti clockwise before I found it, but it only took about 10 mins.

It looks like the milepost had a near miss a few years ago.

The yellow backed chevron has been replaced in the latest streetview. It no longer has the backing as per @Ming the Merciless 's photo.

Looks like the circle on my map was a wee bit big

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Well done @Mr Celine over to you.

 

[Mr Celine]

NTR!

Only just found this thread. I should have recognised Ming's milepost, as it's only a few miles up the road. Our club hilly starts just around the corner and then comes towards the camera. Given @Marchrider's comment, looks like I've missed my big chance and we're now onto roads I've never ridden

 

[Mr Celine]

good grief I go along that road every week - I will let it run for a few days, it would seem like cheating at this stage
a clue though, ...

If you know the answer then give it. Please don't give 'clues' on my puzzle.
