The Da Vinci Code - Quest Solution (18 of 24)
Today's challenge proved to be a difficult one for many. After the multi-multi-part solution, you were able to complete the quest and move on to the next puzzle. Here is a screenshot of the final solution (the fourth blade is at the very top of the puzzle, you can see I have circled it with a red line).
After compiling the pieces of the puzzle you are asked "Leonardo's reverse-handwriting manuscript on perpetual motion wheels can be found in this city. What is its name?(For another clue, Hyde in the north.)" The answer is London.
After finding the blades (see image above) you are asked, "You have found all four blades, and lo! they draw an X over a place just slightly north of the Victoria and Albert Museum, home of Leonardo's Codex Forster. What is its name?" Imperial College
The first GoogleFact reader to answer today's challenge was Ming Su, congratulations Ming.

Now I will make two predictions. First, I won't be the quickest to finish today's challenge. Second, in the near future Google will annouce that they will have a new service http://magazines.google.com. Those are my predictions for this, the 4th day of May, in the year 2000 and 6.
Post your solution to today's Geography challenge in the comments below this post.

My internet is very slow...
Answer: london. Screens soon.
The city is London, and the place just above the V&A is the Imperial College.
The blades form a cross... hehehe. The answer: Imperial College
There aren't a whole lot of cities to guess. I am thinking the last geography puzzle should involve New York. Also if you zoom in to the google maps for Uk maps.google.co.uk and search "Victoria and Albert Museum london". you will immediately see Imperial College London.
Sarahm, I didn't use Google maps... Only google search.
Question:
Everything was predictable until I had to identify a building north of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Since I don't know London, how can I use Google or Google Maps to identify the building marked on the map as the Imperial College?
A little more:
. . . I see how to find cultural institutions in an unfamiliar city on Google Earth using layers. Is that how one does it?
Tips for those of you who want to use Google search instead of Google maps:
+ search V&A Museum: its location is Cromwell Road
+ what's on Cromwell Road? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromwell_Road note the order of listing :)
Second time New York? Guess not... The last must be Paris, I think...
