London, UK

The gardens, new café, and the "Duke Street Electricity Substation" that lays underneath were not mapped at all, and of course I could not let that be. From photos and memory, I re-created the gardens in JOSM, my preferred OpenStreetMap editor and now it is available on the map — including the steps and the elevator:
