How big is 40,000 square metres

[vlc]

an old friend of mine was recently left this amount of land in a 'will' - so i wondered for comparison, whats equivalent to that land size - a football field?

[vlc]

so its 8 acres worth

trouble is i find that size hard to visualise.

in fact, could any here tell of a notable public place thats 40,000 sq mt, or put a link to such a picture, with people walking about it for scale.???

It's one twenty-fifth of a grid square on a 1:50000 OS map.

well my atlas has a 1 inch square grid, each 4.9 km across, so hows that fit in?

actully - how big are the 'buckingham palace' grounds -for then i could compare that easily via a street atlas
