Boffins have created a Twitter map of London to reveal the city's tweeting hot spots, with areas of the capital renamed to correspond with their traffic levels.

Peaks - which have been given names such as Soho Mountain, Camden Town Ridge and Piccadilly Rock - have been depicted as mountains and areas with few tweets are shown as valleys.

The project was the brainchild of 'Tweetographer' Fabian Neuhaus, from UCL's Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, who tracked the origins of the 120,000 tweets posted in London every week.

This appears to be the source of the newspaper article.


There may be a high incidence of twits from JAGS. Although JAGS describes itself as "on the Edge of Dulwich" it is actually in East Dulwich. You have to drill deep on www.jags.org.uk for this admission. The SE22 boundary performs some interesting gymnastics around North Dulwich Station.


I still can't relate the iso-twits to real world topography as there is no underlay map. My best guess is the "North Dulwich Top" is actually centered on Goose Green.

    • As a cafe, yes. And they kept all the chandeliers they hadn't sold as an antique shop still hanging up. They had a real mouse problem, quite well covered up, however. 
    • Ah yes, that's right. Didn't Chandelier sell a huge range of different kinds of tea?  That militaria shop was bonkers.
    • Spinach took over from Chandelier, which was then a cafe but had been an antique shop of the same name. Some shops up from Target Arms the militaria shop. 
    • My friend and I once did a cocktail crawl down Lordship Lane.  I think we started at Black Cherry (now Franco Manca). It got off to a good start when I knocked mine over and had to buy another one. Liquorish was in there somewhere. The crawl ended with me carrying a chair and her a set of glasses, both bought from an antique shop at some point on the crawl, can't remember where and long gone. Was it where Spinach is now? Somewhere round there. The antique shop, not Spinach!
